The Universal Registration Document including the 2022 Annual Financial Report is a free translation of the official French version of the Universal Registration Document including the 2022 Annual Financial Report that was prepared in XHTML and is available on Vitura's website, www.vitura.fr.
(1) Vitura's Integrated Report is based on the International Integrated Reporting Framework published by the IIRC.
In a world in search of a new equilibrium, Vitura continues to prove its strategy is on the mark.
By remaining attentive to its tenants' needs, Vitura has gradually built up a portfolio that perfectly matches the expectations of young talent and companies operating in the French economy's most dynamic sectors. In return, its tenants' creditworthiness and loyalty provide Vitura with high occupancy rates and rental income.
Vitura's portfolio exclusively comprises large complexes located in the most sought-after business districts in Paris and Greater Paris and all have strong potential for value creation. Each of them is regularly upgraded to offer a level of design, comfort and amenities that can compete with new builds, as well as meeting the highest environmental standards. Today, the energy efficiency of Vitura's properties mitigates the impacts of the energy crisis for tenants. They have earned Vitura its well-deserved reputation as a "green" property company, firmly positioned at the top of international league tables.
Vitura shares have been traded in compartment B of the Euronext Paris stock exchange since March 2006. The Company has elected for the status of listed real estate investment company (société d'investissement immobilier cotée – SIIC).


Chairman of the Board of Directors
This time last year, the conflict in Ukraine had just begun, and Europe was once more facing uncertainty. The immediate impact was soaring energy prices followed by a sharp surge in inflation. Central banks raised interest rates abruptly, ending a long period of free money. Fortunately, economies held up well during the year, with France achieving 2.6% GDP growth.
This year, a new shock has arisen as the extremely accommodative monetary policy of the last handful of years has started to unwind, leading to a string of bank failures in the US, followed by the downfall of a Swiss bank. Are we at the beginning of a wider banking crisis? It is too early to tell. Should we be concerned that regulators have failed to prevent another crisis or can we take reassurance from regulators' swift responses, stabilizing the markets?
This sharp increase in rates has triggered the repricing of many investments, including real estate. We expect this will continue in 2023 and lead to a decline in transaction volumes as buyers and sellers can't agree on value. Markets with low vacancy and limited new supply will outperform; central Paris will be a leading market and our Kennedy Campus project will benefit from these dynamics. Over the long term, the normalization of the risk-free rate will lead to a return to healthier capital market fundamentals, which is beneficial to real estate investors.

\ The normalization of the risk-free rate will lead to a return to healthier capital market fundamentals. \
As the health crisis receded, European workers returned to the office. Peak office attendance spreads over Tuesday to Thursday. On these days, employees expect maximum face-to-face interaction, and employers have understood the need to invest in their offices to facilitate this. Vitura is present to support this transition.
The Europlaza renovation project was at the forefront of new working practices. As from this year, Arcs de Seine and Rives de Bercy will offer users a diverse range of inspiring spaces and premium amenities, including a business center, a fitness center with personal trainers and physiotherapist, lounges, restaurants and cafeterias, and landscaped gardens. We are also making progress in the combination of the Office and Passy Kennedy properties into a single 35,000 sq.m. complex, an exceptional proposition in central Paris. The redevelopment will take the properties' environmental performance to the next level.
Vitura continues its commitment to ESG, as demonstrated by its top spot in the GRESB (1) rankings. The speed with which we rolled out energy sufficiency plans as Europe was facing energy shortage risks during winter offers a compelling illustration of our engagement with tenants, the knowledge we have of our properties, and the efficiency of our buildings. We have also set up CSR communities at each site and now have automated data collection systems.
During the year, leases were signed, extended or renewed on 23,000 sq.m, or 13% of our portfolio, bringing our average remaining lease term to five years. The occupancy rate in our revenue-generating assets stood at 81%. Rental income was stable and, at a time of rising interest rates, portfolio value eased back by just 3% after gaining 7.7% in 2022.
Our leasing results demonstrate the success of capital plans and have made us determined to continue to invest in our properties. That's why we have decided to cap the dividend payment at our legal distribution obligations this year.

2. Our strategy
Vitura's value creation model is based on four pillars: premium, high-potential assets, a rigorous environmental approach that goes above and beyond the applicable standards, operations management tailored to each market, and an exceptional client experience. Year after year, it proves its effectiveness and resilience, benefiting all its stakeholders, from shareholders to tenants.
All Vitura's assets are located in the most dynamic business districts in Paris and Greater Paris. They all have strong potential for medium- and long-term value creation, thanks to regular investment programs. All of its properties are aimed at the most exacting tenants. After the repositioning of Europlaza, which set its rental values on par with new builds in La Défense, the renovations of Arcs de Seine and Rives de Bercy – and the upcycling and insulation of the Office Kennedy and Passy Kennedy façades scheduled for early 2024 – demonstrate the ability and determination of Vitura's teams to implement its virtuous and efficient value creation model.
Since the Company was founded in 2006, environmental excellence has been one of Vitura's core values. Each year, Vitura carries out an increasingly demanding and innovative action plan. It brings its stakeholders on board through an ISO 14001-certified environmental management system. Vitura's approach in this area is described in the Non-Financial Information Statement. In 2022, it once again earned it the title of Global Sector Leader in the listed office property companies category in the GRESB(1) ranking. Vitura continued to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption, bringing them down by 40% and 32% (see page 47 et seq.) compared with 2013 levels, respectively. Once the renovationoftheOfficeKennedybuildingis complete, all of Vitura's assets will have both NF HQE® Exploitation and BREEAM In-Use International certification. Building on the energy efficiency plans designed to deal with the energy crisis resulting from theconflictinUkraine,Viturahasnowsetup CSRcommunities at all its sites to maximize everyone'scommitment.
The expectations of companies and their employees are constantly changing. Vitura's teams always keep them in mind when it comes to managing operations.
Every time office space is vacated, it is renovated to the latest functional, technical and design standards. From 2014 to 2020, the Europlaza tower underwent a transformation, as did the Arcs de Seine Campus between 2016 and 2022. Since 2021, Rives de Bercy has also been undergoing major redevelopment work, and work will begin on the Office Kennedy and Passy Kennedy buildings in 2023. With each renovation, the buildings' private spaces become more flexible. Shared indoor and outside areas become fully-fledged work spaces, better suited for interaction, living and creativity, with new amenities on offer. All of this is designed to perfectly match new generations' ways of living and working and to maintain the maximum appeal of the Vitura experience.
With leases renewed on 58% of leased space since 2017, Vitura is adept at ensuring client satisfaction, which in turn inspires loyalty.
Vitura is committed to providing a unique client experience that goes above and beyond the services, tools and amenities that tenants need, offering that something extra that makes all the difference.
Every renovation and repositioning project, whether it concerns indoor or outside spaces, stands out for its original inspiration and high quality execution, supported by the most creative architects and designers in the industry. The extensive renovation of the Arcs de Seine lobby in 2021 included the construction of a 23-screen gallery that would project videos incorporating both real and imaginary images evoking nature, in a fresh interplay between the property's interior and exterior. The Rives de Bercy building, currently being renovated, will delight visitors with its vast gardens, which will lead into its new entrance – the first of its kind. Lastly, the Carrara marble covering the façade of the Kennedy complex will soon regain its sparkle and light thanks to an unprecedented upcycling process, a model of efficiency and an example of the circular economy in action.

▪ 100% satisfaction rate

▪ A shared, two-way commitment
Vitura's results have been recognized by various international real estate organizations and bodies.

Vitura's formal commitment to the environment is reflected in the certification awarded by AFNOR (the French International Organization for Standardization) for its property business's environmental management system (EMS), which complies with international standard ISO 14001:2015.
The Group's strategy for continuous improvement is based on Deming's plan-do-check-act approach.

Two major certifications: BREEAM-In-Use International and NF HQE® Exploitation.
Vitura uses these two frameworks to guide and drive the continuous improvement initiatives monitored by the CSR Committee.

Vitura won two Gold Awards at the annual EPRA conference for the quality of the financial and environmental information in its 2021 Annual Report.

In the annual GRESB(2) ranking, Vitura was named Global Sector Leader in the listed office property companies category, with a score of 95/100.

(2) Except Office Kennedy, acquired in October 2021.
Vitura's project is driven by continuous improvement of performance and service. Far from any abstract or theoretical approach, this means being constantly attentive to their clients' needs. Vitura has chosen a lean and decentralized organization in order to respond quickly and precisely to their short-, medium- and long-term expectations. Alongside its employees, it works with a number of partners who, like Vitura, put people first, in keeping with its tagline: "Workplaces for people. By people."
For many years, Vitura has been implementing an ambitious CSR approach with its stakeholders, managed by an ad hoc committee led by the Company's Executive Management. This requirement for outstanding environmental excellence was further strengthened with the implementation of energy efficiency plans as winter approaches. These plans have broadened and intensified environmental discourse with tenants. Vitura intends to seize this opportunity to create CSR communities at site level that will encourage interaction and inspire new initiatives.
Property managers are responsible for the day-to-day management of Vitura's properties, from utilities management to delivery of ancillary services, and from invoicing to compliance with rental obligations, on the frontline in client relations. Vitura works with first-rate providers with which it fosters long-term relationships. Their role is not only to deliver impeccable service. Acting under contract, they provide Vitura with a wide range of performance indicators, with an approach geared towards continuous improvement. They are also responsible for putting forward proposals to optimize minor upgrade plans such as multi-year work programs. For all these reasons,
property managers play a key part in Vitura's environmental and social commitments. This has been further strengthened with the implementation of emergency protocols to deal with pandemics, flooding and heat waves, as well as energy efficiency plans as winter approaches. By heading up these initiatives, property managers play a pivotal role in leading the CSR communities currently being set up at each site to further these commitments.
Northwood Investors is Vitura's majority shareholder and one of the world's leading asset managers. Its experts are ideally positioned to objectively track trends in Paris and the surrounding region. For Vitura, they are an invaluable source of recommendations to further its repositioning and valuation strategy.
Acting under contract, they regularly provide Vitura with valuation and advisory services relating to the portfolio's development, for example through acquisitions and renovations, and to the operational management of its assets.


By constantly delivering services and performance that go above and beyond expectations, Vitura fosters remarkable loyalty among its tenants. Each year, leases are signed, renewed or extended on nearly 25,000 sq.m, which represents 12% of the total surface area of the portfolio. The weighted average remaining lease term remains at more than 5 years as of December 31, 2022.

Economic players everywhere are facing a moment oftruth as energy prices soar amid theUkraine crisis. The impact has been less severe forthose who were already taking decisive action to reduce their energy consumption.Vitura is one ofthem, having committed to a highly ambitious environmental and socialresponsibility strategy back in 2006. Thanks to some majorrenovations,Vitura's buildings consume 32% less energy than in 2013, which is a big plus fortenants. On top ofthat,their employees benefitfrom a prime location, excellent public transportlinks, and low-impacttransportation facilities.
founder and president of Wild Trees, and Managing Director of the OID (Observatoire de l'immobilier durable).
As one of the earliest real estate companies to address this issue, Vitura has featured consistently in the top three of the GRESB(1) ranking since the first time it took part. In 2022, Vitura was named Global Sector Leader in the listed office property companies category for the fourth year

running. This achievement comes despite increasing competition, as all real estate companies are now legally obliged to take action in this area. It's a bit like the tortoise and the hare – having spent over 15 years gradually upgrading its buildings and finetuning its protocols, Vitura has gained a head start that those arriving late in the game will struggle to catch up with. And Vitura isn't showing any sign of slowing down. With the renovation of the last Arcs de Seine building recently completed, work continues on the Rives de Bercy building and is just getting started at Office Kennedy and Passy Kennedy...
France's tertiary green energy decree applies to lessees as well as lessors. Lessees will be required to reduce their final energy consumption by 40% by 2030, 50% by 2040 and 60% by 2050. So fortenants, it
\ Putting in the work on environmental and social issues leads to long-term rewards. \
is critical to have a lessor who is not only committed to significantly improving building quality, but also to enhancing energy performance in common areas, which can represent up to 50% of total consumption. Providing a work environment aligned with the values and beliefs of younger generations is also an assetwhen it comes to attracting talent.And it goes without saying that direct financial savings have been made since energy prices startedto soar.
All these factors call for a new kind of relationship between tenants, lessors and building managers, in a spirit of co-management. And that's something else that sets Vitura's environmental and social strategy apart.
The new European Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) imposes new rules on businesses when it comes to reporting on the impacts of their activities. This involves extensive automation of data collection and processing – which is no mean feat. To make this happen, Vitura has recently partnered with Stonal and Ubigreen, two rising stars in French tech. 2023 will also see the Hanami Campus switch to geothermal energy. Over a full year, 430 metric tons of CO2 emissions will be avoided and fossil fuel use will be reduced by 65%. Elsewhere, the action plan, which runs until 2030, will continue to be implemented. Because – it bears repeating – putting in the work on environmental and social issues leads to long-term rewards.

Vitura is contributing to the national effort to ease the pressure on energy supply by implementing an energy efficiency plan across all its sites for winter 2022-2023. The project was launched in November with consultation meetings between tenants and property managers at each site. Immediate action was taken on the main drivers for reducing consumption, namely heating, air conditioning and lighting. In the longer term, Vitura and its stakeholders aim to take advantage of this opportunity by stepping up their coordinated action on environmental and social issues and creating a CSR community at each site. Legally mandated annual meetings will be replaced by quarterly committee meetings, where not just energy, but also water, waste, biodiversity and more will be discussed. The sky is the limit, with each site free to adapt the agenda to their own needs and expertise.

The repositioning that began in 2016 with the renovation ofthe common areas in building B has continued apace. The year 2022 saw the renovation of building C, and further work is scheduled for 2023, with the addition of a gym and a business center as well as the restoration ofthe campus' stunning private gardens. Together with the transformation of Europlaza into a garden tower, the renovation of Arcs de Seine demonstrates once again the ability of Vitura's teams to successfully implement ambitious redevelopment projects over the long term. With its warm atmosphere and its flexible and welcoming spaces, Arcs de Seine is one ofthe most attractive developments in western Paris.
Interview with Paul Gresham and Michaël Néri, G+ architectes
The priority was of course to ensure that both the design and the user experience were consistent across the whole complex. But we were still able to incorporate small, personalized details to give each building its own identity – and, with its own entrance on the Place Abel Gance, building C lent itself particularly well to this. We have given it a sleek, understated façade, inspired by Parisian boutiques, and redesigned the landscaping. For example, we opened up the plant borders at the foot of the façade, which now naturally invite visitors in and give the building an urban, welcoming feel, which we also had in mind forthe interiors.
We have given this rather dated building a new lease on life, putting the comfort of its

future users at the heart of the project. Given the recent changes in the world of work, we wanted to give the building a "resimercial", or more homely, feel. To achieve this, we played with different materials, patterns, textures and lighting from one space to another. We also drew on features of hotel design, combined with a more industrial aesthetic in spaces where we wanted to make an impact, such as the reception area. The end result is a more cohesive, welcoming space, and an enhanced user experience.
Since they are not fixed to the central core, the modular floor plates can be reconfigured as desired. This means that they can be tailored to any corporate culture, which may also evolve over time. Similarly, the lobby is perfectly suited to new ways of working, with spaces for users to sit at a table, unwind in a lounge, or stand at a desk. The high quality renovations, right down to the small details, will also give the building a certain timelessness, since they were not influenced by passing trends. We also explored possible additions that would be compatible with the work that has been carried out. In the future, for example, a rooftop terrace could be developed, or a cafeteria or auditorium added to the first floor. Building C most certainly has a bright future.
\ The newly renovated building C can be tailored to any corporate culture. \

"Since the Covid-19 pandemic, companies' real estate priorities have been focused on office space. Private areas have become more high-density, which means that common areas have taken on new importance. Located on the banks of the Seine, just a stone's throw from Île Saint-Germain, the Arcs de Seine Campus was already well known in western Paris' Telecom Valley. By rounding out its services with a gym and business center, we have made it even more attractive. These facilities are located on the garden level of building A at the heart of the site, making them an ideal place for tenants to meet up. With this sociable feel in mind, we made the spaces more interconnected – for example, the furnished lounge is now directly accessible from the restaurant. In sunny weather, the gym can also be opened up onto the garden. In terms of comfort and interiors, we applied the same upgrades made to the other buildings. The result is a cohesive campus with timeless appeal that will transcend passing trends. The materials and furniture used make it feel more like a home than an office, and the choice of natural colors reflects the garden, which itself will be renovated starting this spring. Once completed, it will mark Arcs de Seine's transformation into a lively hub, inspiring interaction and creativity day after day."

The idea first emerged following the successive acquisitions of Passy Kennedy and Office Kennedy in 2018 and 2021 – and it is soon to become a reality. In 2024, after a year of work, these two adjoining parts of one ofthe most emblematic buildings on the banks ofthe Seine in western Paris will come togetherto form an exceptional complex, to be known as the Kennedy Campus.
Upon completion, the complex will have a significantly improved technical and environmental performance, and feature a firstforthe circular economy: the building's entire Carrara marble façade is being removed, upcycled and relaid.
Interview with Marcelo Joulia, founder and director of Naço, and Juan Miri, architect
We see it as an incredible opportunity and an immense responsibility. Not only because of the complex's outstanding architecture, but also because of its location in a highly protected area, on the banks of the Seine, near the Maison de la Radio, whose design it echoes. We know that any signature we leave has to be very subtle, visible only in the tiniest details, and with this in mind we are working in close collaboration with Bâtiments de France, which is responsible for protecting French architectural heritage. Another key point is that combining these two buildings represents a tremendous opportunity to create value. At 35,000 sq.m, the Kennedy Campus will be one of the few complexes of this size in central Paris.
First, we are turning the Seine-side entrance into a main entrance to bring out its full potential. Once inside, visitors will enter a first floor entirely dedicated to common areas and set to become a bustling gathering spot, similar to the lobby of a large hotel. Tenants will have access to three distinct dining areas, a gym and a business center, where they will find spaces for informal meetings, which have become so important to new collaborative ways of working. Outside, this new main entrance will open out onto a redesigned, landscaped esplanade which, similar to the reception area, will lend itself perfectly to both coffee breaks and special events. This esplanade will give the building a more welcoming feel among its urban surroundings, especially since the Avenue du Président Kennedy will soon be largely reserved for low-impact mobility. To this end, we are creating 350 sq.m bicycle parking facilities which will also be equipped with changing rooms and showers. In a similar vein, the secondary
entrance on the 16th arrondissement side will be lined with trees to offer a harmonious transition between the workplace and the city, while the various rooftops will be combined into one single terrace... which might even feature a 250m running track! In short, we are transforming a 1980s building into a resolutely contemporary space, ahead of the introduction of Paris' future bioclimatic local development plan (PLU).
\ This complex will be one of the few of this size in central Paris. \


7,000 sq.m of common areas including 5,000 sq.m on the first floor 3 restaurants, a gym and a business center 11 2,200 sq.m modular floor plates and 9 1,000 sq.m floors which can be connected A 750 sq.m rooftop terrace with a panoramic view of Paris A 1,000 sq.m terrace at the garden level, facing the Seine 2,000 sq.m of gardens A 350 sq.m bicycle parking area equipped with changing rooms and showers 1 parking lot with 282 spaces and 60 electric charging stations.
As sumptuous as it is, the Carrara marble façade had to be taken down for safety reasons. The positive side of it is that it gave us the opportunity to insulate the building from the outside. We have set up an ad hoc process to recycle all 4,000 sq.m of the marble panels into new cladding that will reflect that same inimitable light, which is a first for the circular economy and of great interest to Bâtiments de France. We couldn't be prouder!
The Kennedy building is famous for its Carrara marble façade which endlessly reflects the ever-changing light of the day. But having warped over time, its heavy panels had become a hazard. After careful disassembly, they will be transported by boat, from the docks located just a few meters away, to Lyon. From there, they will be driven to a factory where they will be cleaned, coarsely crushed and then integrated into terrazzo with a similar appearance which will reflect light just as beautifully. The panels will then be shipped back the same way and reassembled. The new façade will have a very low carbon footprint and use very few non-renewable raw materials. The cost is comparable to having new cladding installed, which would be made using far less noble materials.
The conflict in Ukraine and the resulting energy crisis may have put an abrupt end to the post-pandemic recovery, but the global economy looks set to bounce back once again.
Similarly, the greater Paris region is still as attractive as ever – and the districts where most of Vitura's assets are located continue to prove themselves a safe haven. As a specialist in campuses offering outstanding design as well as a superior level of technical and environmental performance, Vitura is perfectly positioned to seize new opportunities.
From Covid-19, with numbers soaring again in China, to the conflict in Ukraine and the resulting energy crisis, the global economy has become inherently unpredictable. According to the OECD, in 2022 the proportion of global GDP spent on final energy consumption rose to 17.7% in just a few weeks – a level on par with the aftermath of the Second Oil Crisis in 1979. This has had a severe impact on growth. Having already fallen in real terms from 5.8% in 2021 to 3.1% in 2022, growth is expected to contract further in 2023, to 2.2%. Highly dependent on energy imports, the eurozone is the most affected, with GDP expected to grow by just 0.3-0.5%. However, inflation is already declining across all regions, with a potential return to low levels as early as 2024, meaning growth could then pick up again. France is more or less mirroring these trends, but performing better than its main competitors, such as Germany and the United Kingdom. Employment has been booming for the past two years, supported by the French government's proactive efforts to boost household purchasing power, substantial household savings and a strong services industry, particularly tourism. In its December 2022 macroeconomic projections, the INSEE even predicts a return to rising wages without an inflationary spiral, similar to pre-Covid levels, in 2024 and 2025.
Investment in commercial real estate rose steadily throughout the year, but slid sharply in the fourth quarter, ending the year at €14.0 billion. This is close to its 2021 level but a non-negligible 20% below the tenyear average. It now accounts for 49% of total investment in corporate real estate, down from 71% in 2017. Investment remains highly concentrated in the greater Paris region, which accounts for three quarters of the total, and in central Paris, which attracts nearly half.
These lower figures are primarily due to two phenomena: rising interest rates, which are "mechanically" leading large investment funds to include more bonds and less real estate in their portfolios, and a lack of opportunities in the most attractive sectors, especially the Paris central business district.
Prime yields have increased for all asset types, now standing at 3.25% for offices. This comes on the back of a correction in the property market, driven by the rise in interest rates and the increase in the cost of redevelopment work. However, not all geographic areas will follow the same trajectory. An increase in risk traditionally leads investors to turn to the highest quality assets, located in the most attractive neighborhoods – where Vitura has been present since the very beginning.


\

The trends speak for themselves: since the shock of 2020, office take-up in the greater Paris region has been steadily recovering. Despite a dip in the fourth quarter, it ended 2022 5% below the ten-year average, at 2,108,300 sq.m, up 10% compared with 2021. This growth topped 19% in central Paris and the Western Crescent including La Défense. Once again, these well-established districts, where the most buoyant industries – luxury, finance and consulting – are concentrated, have stood out from the rest. These districts are also home to 75% of Vitura's properties: Passy Kennedy and Office Kennedy, Europlaza and Arcs de Seine.
In Paris, this strong demand for central location came at the same time as a decrease in immediate supply, which was down 7% at the end of the year. Rents, which are already much higher than elsewhere, continued to rise, with average prime rents reaching a symbolic €1,000/sq.m. The upward pressure on rents was particularly strong in Paris Center West, where incentive packages, after several months of decline, now represent only 16% of annual rent. In La Défense, this is a boon for new and recently redeveloped buildings such as the Europlaza tower. Premium French luxury brand Dior Parfums has just signed a lease for a 7,000 sq.m space in the district, proving that it is just as attractive as ever.
In less than 500 days, all eyes will once again be on Paris. For the first time ever, the Olympic Games opening ceremony will be held not in a stadium but in the historic city center itself, with athletes parading down the Seine. When the floodlights and cameras trickle away after three weeks of sporting prowess and thrilling achievements, everyone in greater Paris will be able to enjoy the region's new facilities and infrastructure. Travel in particular will be easier, with the automated metro line 14 linking Orly airport to Saint-Denis. And this is just the beginning, with four new automatic lines criss-crossing the region scheduled to start up by 2030, and nearly 70 kilometers of tunnel now in place! Already a highly attractive area, greater Paris is set to become even more sought after thanks to these developments. It is already ranked second among the top global cities in the recent exclusive Opinion Way survey, commissioned by Choose Paris Region(1) . According to the Financial Times' fDi Markets figures, Paris is the top city in terms of European investment. It is also the most attractive European city for foreign Research & Development investment. And this enthusiasm is reflected in the vast number of tech companies that have chosen the region as their base, with 37% of the startups present at the last CES in Las Vegas hailing from greater Paris!

Four years, a pandemic and an energy crisis on from its first edition, JLL's latest global Future of Work survey(2) clearly demonstrates that office working is entering a new era, with precious little time for players to adapt. 77% of the decision-makers surveyed believe that offering hybrid working will be critical to attracting and retaining talent, and that investing in quality office space is a greater priority than expanding total footprint. 79% say they are already acting to make theirworkplace more inclusive and diverse. 74% are likely to pay a premium for green credentials. Cushman & Wakefield France shares these observations in its 'Office of the Future Revisited' study, also pointing out that demand for office space after the health crisis increased along with growth, outstripping supply in many places. In its 2022 Trendbook, 'Offices: A New Chapter', BNP Paribas Real Estate reaches the conclusion that 'the office and remote work are allies, not enemies' and that 'the office remains a space for coming together and sharing knowledge.' In this new era, offices are set to become more and more mixed-use, with integrated amenities, shops, cultural activities and gyms. Ahead of the curve, Vitura has been working for some time now to transform its assets into versatile campuses – meaning that, in most of its properties, these predictions are already a reality. For example, the Europlaza, Arcs de Seine and Rives de Bercy buildings already include large fitness facilities, and similar projects are currently under consideration for Passy and Office Kennedy, more recent additions toVitura's portfolio.

Vitura's competitive environment has remained particularly stable for many years now. Most commercial property deals are completed by domestic investors, which mainly include real estate investment companies, longstanding investors such as insurers and pension funds, and listed property companies focused on prime office buildings located in the most sought-after districts in the Greater Paris region. Among these companies, Vitura stands out for the highly disciplined, consistent implementation of its strategy, which has made it the benchmark in its market segment. A further illustration of this position is the acquisition of Office Kennedy, in the extended ParisCBD, which offers very high value creation potential from leveraging synergies with the adjacent Passy Kennedy complex. With the transformation of Europlaza, which was completed with the renovation of the food court in 2020, Vitura has already demonstrated its ability to bring the amenities and rental values of older assets in linewith the latest standards.

Ever since its creation in 2006, Vitura has strongly believed in the link between economic performance and environmental and social excellence. It has embraced the challenges of sustainable development and is strongly committed to the transitions facing society. And this vision has more than proven its worth recently in Vitura's resilience to both the health and energy crises.
In order to provide a transparent account of its actions, the Company has voluntarily published a Non-Financial Information Statement (NFIS) since 2013.
Vitura's corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy is based on analyzing and prioritizing the issues directly impacting it and maintaining an environmental, social and governance risk map. This strategy revolves around four focus areas: integrating CSR into our corporate governance, acting for the climate, having a positive social footprint and rolling out innovative actions. Each of these four
areas is reflected in ambitious, concrete commitments that are broken down over the short, medium and long term, in line with the National Low Carbon Strategy, the "2°C pathway" of the Paris Agreement and the tertiary eco-energy mechanism issued within the broader framework of France's ELAN law, encouraging those involved in the energy management of tertiary buildings to reduce energy consumption.
The results produced have won the recognition of national and international environmental, social and governance (ESG) analysts. In 2022, for the fourth year in a row, the Company was named world number 1 in the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark's (GRESB) listed office property companies category, with a score of 95/100.

In 2013, Vitura set up a CSR Steering Committee, comprising members of the CSR department and Vitura's Executive Management, which has been in charge of incorporating the Group's ESG challenges into its overall strategy. The committee is responsible for defining objectives and preparing an action plan to achieve them. The Operational CSR Committee oversees and reports on the plan to the CSR Steering Committee.
The Group's CSR strategy is guided by three policies on environmental, social and governance issues. As part of its approach geared toward continuous improvement, the policies require the buy-in of Vitura's main stakeholders. To achieve this, the Group implements specific processes and
tools to engage with them and ensure a coordinated approach. This gives Vitura maximum capacity for action, agility and resilience across itsCSR value chain.
As the cornerstone of its commitment, Vitura's governance policy carefully incorporates the principles of diversity and equal and fair treatment with respect to gender, age and background.

Broad network of stakeholders contributing to CSR policy
Vitura's ESG challenges are identified and prioritized in a careful process supervised by itsCSR SteeringCommittee.
This process is based on benchmark references that include (i) EPRA's sBPR guidelines, (ii) the responsible real estate report put together by the French organization for the promotion of sustainable real estate (OID), (iii) the topics that must be covered in the NFIS, (iv) the rating criteria
Each year, the CSR Steering Committee reviews the ESG risks that could have a material adverse effect on Vitura's business, financial position or earnings. The areas explored are defined based on the ESG challenges identified in the Vitura materiality matrix. The risks identified as a result of this review take into account the latest practices and recommendations and are added to the Company's overall risk analysis.
It is based on a risk map, with risks weighted based on their probability of occurrence, their net impact and the risk management systems in place.
used in non-financial questionnaires (GRESB, CDP, etc.) and (v) MEDEF and AMF recommendations. It anticipates the real estate component of the European Union's green taxonomy, which will direct investment flows to the most virtuous projects. Some 21 challenges have been identified in this way.
A materiality analysis is conducted involving all Vitura's internal and external stakeholders, with a questionnaire distributed and a materiality matrix produced. Given the current context, climate change mitigation and climate resilience, as well as reduction of energy consumption, are seen as particularly important among the 21 pre-identified challenges.
In 2022, five main risks specific to Vitura were identified as a result of the review:
reputation risks related to comfort and well-being;


regulatory and reputation risks linked to energy;
regulatory and reputation risks linked to greenhouse gas emissions;

CO2
physicalrisks linked to climate change, such as heatwaves, droughts and flooding;

risks related to stakeholder relations.
In this section of the report, symbols are used to identify the actions taken to measure these risks.
See the "Risk Factors" section on page 101 of this report for further information regarding the Company's overall risk analysis.
Based on the priority issues and main risks identified, the CSR Steering Committee creates a list of ambitious and concrete objectives, as set out below. This continuous improvement process is ISO 14001-certified by AFNOR, the French international organization for standardization.

Vitura has introduced a plan to mitigate and adapt to climate change, led by three main objectives: 1) reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its real estate portfolio by 54% between 2013 and 2030 with the aim of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, particularly through low-carbon redevelopment work; 2) make its properties resilient to climate change; and 3) get key stakeholder buy-in on addressing climate change.
Vitura has also set specific targets for renewable energy use, waste and consumption reduction, biodiversity and mobility.

| Commitment | Scope | Indicator | Objective | 2022 result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reduce greenhouse gas emissions linked to energy consumption at its |
Assets | Emissions linked to energy consumption at its properties |
-54% between 2013 and 2030 |

| Offset residual greenhouse gas emissions from headquarters |
Vitura headquarters | % of CO2 emissions offset | 100% | 100% |
Vitura is aiming for a 54% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions linked to energy consumption at its properties by 2030 compared to 2013. In 2022, these emissions amounted to 17 kgCO2eq/sq.m, a 40% decrease(1) .
In order to continuously improve the energy performance of its buildings, Vitura draws up specific action programs for each building every year:
Renewable energy is also used to reduce carbon emissions at Vitura properties. Currently, 12% of the energy used by buildings in operation is renewable, with a target of 32% expected to be achieved by 2024 by connecting the Hanami Campus to Rueil-Malmaison's heating network. This grid uses fully renewable and carbon-free geothermal energy for at least 55% of its needs. The Hanami Campus is scheduled to be connected in late 2023.
Vitura also uses increasingly efficient tools to calculate the annual carbon footprint of its headquarters, both overall and per square meter. Its footprint stood at 15.6 metric tons of CO2 equivalent in 2022 and efforts are ongoing to reduce it further. Alongside its efforts to reduce its emissions, Vitura voluntarily offsets its GHG
emissions with the GoodPlanet Foundation (see Zoom in on...).
Lastly, Vitura set up a sustainable innovation fund in 2018, overseen by the CSR Committee. An innovative and effective tool, this fund is topped up annually with a carbon tax that Vitura applies on a voluntary basis. The fund helps finance a number of initiatives aimed at improving the environmental performance of Vitura's assets (see Zoom in on...).
In 2022, this fund – which, as in other years, represents just one portion of the sums Vitura allocates for this purpose – continued to enhance Vitura'sCSR strategy.
(1) Figures adjusted for climate variability in 2022. Calculation made using carbon data as reported for assets in operation in 2022 and 2013, in kgCO2eq/sq.m. See table of EPRA greenhouse gas indicators on page 68.


In order to continuously improve the calculation of the carbon footprint of its headquarters, Vitura has expanded the scope of emissions taken into account and finetuned its methodology. For example, in 2022, the carbon footprint of Vitura's headquarters includes their share of electricity from the building's common areas. Reporting is also more exhaustive for corporate assets and purchases, now taking into account estimated emissions from all computer equipment and furniture used, the various purchases made during the year and the building occupied.

\
Vitura also offsets its GHG emissions through its support for the GoodPlanet Foundation, an independent organization which uses methods directly inspired by the principles of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and aims to:

Objective Reduce final energy consumption by 40% between 2013 and 2030, in accordance with the regulatory requirements of France's eco-energy scheme fortertiary buildings

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reduce properties' energy consumption | Assets in operation | Properties' energy consumption | -40% between 2013 and 2030 |
-32% |
In 2022, Vitura had already achieved a 32% reduction in final energy consumption per sq.m at its properties compared with 2013(1) , for a total of 203 kWhFE/sq.m.
Each year, Vitura proactively carries out a range of ambitious initiatives so that itself and its stakeholders are well positioned to better manage their energy consumption and meet new regulations, often several years ahead of schedule.
2022 saw even more major achievements:
energy consumption, with a target to roll them out across the whole portfolio;

In addition, amid tensions over Europe's energy supply, Vitura has stepped up its efforts to raise awareness and train its stakeholders on energy issues and on ESG as a whole. Before winter, sessions on ways to save energy were organized at all sites in operation. Upstream audits carried out on all buildings confirmed how much of a difference usage habits can make to bringing energy consumption down. Each building now has its own best practice guide, based on the current Ecowatt scenario (see Zoom in on...). These sessions have strengthened the ties not only between Vitura, property managers and tenants, but also between the tenants themselves. They are laying the foundations for setting up permanent CSR communities that encourage commitment, creativity and competition, in energy efficiency and many other issues, and will meet at least once a quarter.
In a few years, ESG information will have to be as accessible, reliable and verifiable as financial information. In practice, this requires extensive automation of data collection and indicator calculation, particularly for real estate companies, whose CSR performance is directly linked to that of their stakeholders (property managers, tenants and service providers). Vitura has decided to follow many of the guidelines in the European CSRD, with which it is not required to comply for several years. It has commissioned market leader Stonal to implement an energy data automation platform, an ambitious project spanning the whole of 2023. It will begin with the significant task of mapping and standardizing the information, followed by the delicate process of interconnecting the information systems. Vitura is leading this project in close cooperation with all its stakeholders, who will themselves directly benefit from it for their own compliance work. It will build further on the collaborative relationship between Vitura and its stakeholders, following on from the strong ties forged with the winter energy efficiency plans. Beyond the technical solutions, this relationship is the best way to foster continuous and sustainable progress.
In 2022, Vitura invited its property managers and tenants to take part in a voluntary energy efficiency initiative, as part of the nationwide effort to ease pressure on French and European energy supply networks. Thanks to Vitura's already close relationship with its tenants, the teams were able to spring into action rapidly and draw up programs tailored to the buildings in question and their specific characteristics.
In particular, Vitura has:
▪ immediately implemented the energy efficiency procedures corresponding to the green scenario;
\
▪ established action and communication plans to be activated in the event a red or amber alert is issued by the network manager.

Property managers will work closely with tenants throughout winter to monitor Ecowatt alerts.
As winter comes to an end, Vitura will evaluate and communicate the results of its stakeholders' joint efforts.

Objective Reduce water consumption at Vitura's properties by 20% between 2013 and 2030 Commitment Scope Indicator Objective 2022 result Track water consumption across the portfolio Assets in operation % of properties with a process for collecting data on water consumption 100% 80% Vitura has rolled out several measures to reduce consumption: ▪ installing automatic faucets; ▪ installing water flow reduction systems; ▪ carrying out monthly maintenance and meter readings; ▪ installing automatic watering systems in green spaces; ▪ carefully managing water flow; ▪ installing a rainwater collection system at Arcs de Seine, also planned as part of the Rives de Bercy renovation program.

In 2022, all of Vitura's buildings had dense, abundant green spaces, accessible to all tenants. Vitura takes care to protect and develop biodiversity, both during the acquisition phase and in the use of its properties:
▪ its property portfolio comprises 38,500 sq.m of green space, including trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants, helping to reduce the impact of heat islands during heatwaves;
\
▪ no pesticides are used across the portfolio.
Vitura encourages its employees and tenants to use public and low-impact transportation. Some 80% of its sites are located less than 200 meters from a bus, subway orRERrail station.
In particular, on each site it provides:

Vitura's energy efficiency and climate change resilience strategy is also an integral part of the complex renovation work it regularly carries out on its buildings. The Rives de Bercy renovation was launched in 2022 with the ambition of bringing the property's carbon footprint down to a minimum, in particular thanks to the materials selected. An analysis of each material's life cycle is carried out and some of them are sourced from the circular economy.
More broadly, the project is aimed at giving the building a new lease on life, with modular, interconnected spaces and closer contact with nature. Rives de Bercy is a resolutely post-Covid site. Here, the office is reinvented to blend in harmoniously with its outdoor surroundings, designed and redeveloped with new ways of working and interacting in mind. Architecture firm Naço and landscape architects Coloco have "turned" the complex outwards toward its gardens, which feature a landscaped pathway that makes ample room for biodiversity, spots for cooling off and unusual green spaces. It's a haven for well-being, creativity and, ultimately, efficiency.


Vitura asks all companies working on its sites to sign its clean building site charter (low-pollution building site charter). It is attached to the Dossier de Consultation des Entreprises (DCE) tender file and forms an integral part of their contractual obligations. Following on from the work carried out during the design phase, it aims in particular, during the works phase, to limit:
During the works phase, an environmental consultant checks that the companies are complying with the charter. They also raise awareness of all the issues among everyone involved in the works. Thanks to this process, Vitura is able to ensure that these companies are fully committed to its CSR approach.
On top of this initiative, priority is also given to reusing and recycling materials. For example, 600 metric tons of soil dug up at Rives de Bercy was repurposed on a nearby project. Three distinctive trees were also protected during the works.
Vitura has mapped all the physical risks to which its assets are exposed, and monitors them closely. Since Rives de Bercy is close to the river Seine, it could be affected by flooding. Vitura used the renovation of the site as an opportunity to further adapt it to climate change and its extreme events. With this in mind, it installed three buffer tanks in the basement, sized to withstand "ten-year flood" water levels.
It has also increased the number of areas in the new gardens where occupants can escape the heat, limiting the harmful effects of heatwaves on their well-being.
The comfort of occupants is a major concern for Vitura, particularly following the pandemic, which has changed employees' relationship to work and increased the demand for higher-quality and more virtuous spaces. Vitura has redeveloped the entire campus and its services to adapt to these new expectations, with:
\
Lastly, the Rives de Bercy renovation project helps promote low-impact mobility and public transportation with the addition of:
In total, just under 30 car parking spaces will be repurposed in favor of low-impact mobility, encouraging users to use more environmentally friendly transportation.

Vitura is a people-centered company that places the utmost importance on equal opportunity. Its employment policy respects human rights, labor law and International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions.
In 2022, 100% of its employees reported they were satisfied. Numerous management measures contribute to maintaining this very high level of satisfaction:
▪ signatory of the United Nations Global Compact since 2015;
▪ creation of an annual events program to boost employee well-being;
▪ possibility of remote working during Covid periods;
▪ employees consulted on ESG priorities via a CSR questionnaire;
▪ internal code of ethics signed by all employees, which includes the principles of non-discrimination (gender and career
diversity), respect for human rights and labor law, for all stakeholders (members of the Board of Directors, shareholders, employees, subcontractors, suppliers, and the communities impacted by Vitura's properties), and the Company's sustainable development commitments;
▪ promotion of physical activity and sports through regular organized sporting events, such as employees' participation in the 15th "Les Foulées de l'Immobilier" race in June 2022, and in the MMS CUP in October 2022.

Get stakeholder buy-in for Vitura's CSR approach to make an impact across the entire value chain
Objective
Given that regional impacts are an essential link in the real estate value chain, Vitura works tirelessly to increase its contribution to local communities, by:

Vitura is involved in several real estate and sustainable development organizations, ensuring it is closely attuned to market and public expectations and that it stays abreast of best practices.
| The OID (Observatoire de l'Immobilier Durable) is an independent real estate forum for the promotion of sustainable development that brings together more than 80 members and partners, including leaders of the commercial real estate sector in France. It actively pushes for greater recognition of ESG issues in France and abroad, through a program of actions carried out both in the field and with public authorities. |
|---|
| The European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA) is made up of Europe's leading listed real estate companies. It primarily aims to standardize reporting practices across the industry. Vitura has been an active member and sponsor of the annual EPRA conference for almost ten years. Its financial and non-financial reports are prepared in accordance with EPRA's Best Practices Recommendations (BPRs). |
| Institut de l'Épargne Immobilière et Foncière is an independent research center that acts as a forum for discussion and exchange among real estate and investment professionals. Vitura has been a member since 2010 and is listed on the Euronext IEIF "SIIC France" index. |
| The Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) is an organization providing standardized and validated Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) data to financial markets. Established in 2009, the GRESB has become the leading ESG benchmark for real estate and infrastructure investments across the world and is used by 140 institutional and financial investors to inform decision-making. |
| Global Compact France, the official local network association in France for the UN Global Compact, brings together more than 1,500 business and non-business entities to help them proactively network and engage with respect to the Ten Principles relating to human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption. These criteria focus on the implementation of best practices in transparency, strategy, governance, stakeholder engagement and contribution to the United Nations' goals. |
| The Urban Land Institute (ULI) is a non-profit organization that boasts more than 45,000 members across the globe from all private and public sectors relating to urban planning and real estate development. Vitura is a member of this organization and participates in its rich exchange of expertise and best practices. |
Vitura sites are lively, welcoming spaces that inspire discussion and collaboration on environmental and social commitments. The sites are regularly involved with major events throughout the year, and support major international or national causes as well as more local associations. Property managers are also contractually required to organize a certain number of social events and activities to raise awareness of CSR issues. Tenants may also take the initiative to organize their own events, with the support of Vitura and its service providers. Among the many standout events in 2022, the Arcs de Seine Campus' participation in the Octobre Rose campaign was particularly noteworthy, with €9,950 raised for the Institut Curie to support breast cancer research.

Since 2018, Vitura's innovative and effective sustainable innovation fund has helped improve the performance of its properties. Managed by the CSR Committee, it is financed by a carbon tax which Vitura applies on a voluntary basis for its "Management" scope GHG emissions (as reported) as described in Appendix 1. The tax was increased from €20 per metric ton in 2021 to €25.5 per metric ton in 2022, meaning that the sustainable innovation fund for the year amounted to €46,206, for 1,812 tCO2eq of emissions. This has helped finance a number of initiatives.


The environmental indicators published by Vitura are aligned with the recommendations of the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA), of which the Company is a member. EPRA's role is to promote, develop and represent the publicly listed real estate sector. Its Sustainability Best Practices Recommendations (sBPRs) provide guidelines to make ESG information published in theAnnual Reports of public property companies clearer and more comparable. This report takes into account the latest amended version of the EPRA recommendations.
The concordance table on page 241 indicates where the information recommended in the EPRA guidelines can be found in the 2022 Annual Report.
Vitura applies EPRA recommendations to its organizational scope (its "Corporate" scope) and to the "Management" and "Use" scopes for its real estate assets. These scopes are defined in the table below.
The 2022 reporting scope corresponds to the six property complexes owned at January 1, 2022: Arcs de Seine, Europlaza, Rives de Bercy, Hanami, Passy Kennedy and Office Kennedy.
The reporting period runs from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022 (this methodology was reviewed for the 2022 NFIS so that actual data could be used; 2021 data has been adjusted for purposes of comparison). Any asset acquired in year Y can only be included in the reporting for year Y+1. Similarly, an asset sold in year Y is excluded from the reporting for that year.
This year, "Development" was added to the reporting scope. The aim is to have a specific reporting scope for properties undergoing construction or renovation work, where more than 50% of the total surface area is vacant. During the works phase, it is difficult to compare the site's energy consumption with an equivalent Y-1 scope. In addition, social considerations such as tenant relationships or on-site events cannot be taken into account for properties under construction. The Rives de Bercy property, which is undergoing renovation, is therefore excluded from the "Management" and "Use" scopes in the 2022 NFIS. The "Development" scope can be applied to a building, and not just to an entire asset: this is the case for building C of Arcs de Seine, which is undergoing redevelopment and is also excluded from the "Management" and "Use" scopes. "Development" scope indicators are calculated on a pro-rata basis, based on the surface area of the building site (Arcs de Seine building C: 10,235 sq.m; Rives de Bercy: 33,632 sq.m).
The reported data has been reviewed by an independent third party. Their report can be found on page 79.
The 2022 coverage rates are indicated for each reporting scope and indicator. The following buildings are included in the reporting scopes:
All these buildings are office buildings.

Vitura's objective is to have all of its assets certified in accordance with two benchmark standards: NF HQE® Exploitation and BREEAM In-Use International.
Vitura also publishes a qualitative or quantitative performance indicator for each ESG criterion categorized as material in the materiality matrix, notably mobility and its socio-economic impact. This information can be found in the ESG action plan on page 51.
The surface area used for the "Management" and "Use" scope indicators are those used for financial reporting:
| 2022 | Reference surface area | Private surface area | Common surface area | FTE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arcs de Seine | 37,709 | 33,917 | 3,792 | 1,516 |

| TOTAL | 201,461 | 182,412 | 19,049 | 4,648 |
The 175 sq.m surface area used for the "Corporate" scope corresponds to the surface area of Vitura's leased premises at 42 rue de Bassano, 75008 Paris, France. The surface area used for Arcs de Seine in 2022 corresponds to the total surface area, excluding building C, which is undergoing renovation.
Data comes primarily from the invoices provided by the site managers (kWh). The invoices were cross-referenced with the lists of electricity meter numbers provided by the site managers to ensure that all sources of energy consumption had been covered.
When invoices were not available but consumption data was provided by the municipally owned electricity facility (RME) for the same source, RME data was used. When no data was available for a source of energy consumption, an estimate was made based on available data. If data is missing, the unavailable data must be estimated to enable values to be compared between indicators and between the two reporting periods.
Two main methods are used to estimate unavailable data, depending on the situation.
In this case, consumption data is extrapolated by taking into account a climate adjustment based on the HDDAvg of the month in question and the months used for the extrapolation.
For example, to extrapolate the consumption for December from consumption for the months whose data is known for the same year:
CDecember= CAvg_Known_Months* (HDDDecember/HDDAvg_Known_Months)
If data is unavailable for a vacant unit in the building, it is extrapolated based on a surface area ratio using data available for another comparable unit in the building or complex that is rented.
For example: 2018 energy consumption for the first floor of building B rented by X is replaced by 2018 energy consumption for the second floor of building B rented by Y.
▪ When less than six months of data was available and the 2019 values were not representative of full building use, an average of the known months was applied.
If data was estimated in year Y-1 or Y-2 and the actual value has since been identified, this value is also adjusted so that it is more representative.
Accordingly, in 2022, 2021 data was updated using this process (the 2021 data shown in this 2022 NFIS is therefore slightly different from the data presented in the 2021 NFIS).
In order to get a clearer representation of buildings' energy efficiency despite fluctuating occupancy rates, the occupancy rate is incorporated into the energy consumption indicators in the 2022 NFIS.
Calculation method: For private areas only (since the common areas are used by all users of the premises regardless of fluctuating occupancy, the occupancy rate should not impact energy consumption in common areas). Energy data is compared to the average annual occupancy rate per property to obtain a "maximum rate" consumption, using the following formula:
Consumptionmaximum rate (private areas) = CTotal private areas/Average annual occupancy rate
This ensures that all properties have the same basis of comparability and that fluctuations in consumption will not be correlated to occupancy.
To facilitate the year-on-year comparison of properties' energy performance, the average annual occupancy rate per property must therefore be applied to prior years, using the same calculation method.
Incorporating this occupancy rate in the energy data will result in an adjustment to the energy consumption data presented in the 2021 NFIS so that it can be compared with the 2022 data on a like-for-like basis.
Details about the data presented
For the "Management" scope: data is retrieved directly from the property manager.
For the "Use" scope: the property manager collects energyrelated data and/or supporting invoices from the tenants and technicians of the various buildings.
\
The coefficient used to convert electricity from final energy (FE) to primary energy (PE) is 2.3.
The waste reported in this table comes from non-hazardous streams, i.e., paper, waste similar to household waste (mainly including waste from staff cafeterias), and construction site waste (if applicable). Hazardous waste streams are not yet covered. Sorted waste refers to waste that has been placed in bins by category. Data is retrieved from the property manager, who collects the data from the waste service providers for each asset.
Water consumption data is taken from supplier invoices provided by the property manager.
This indicator is calculated using:
urban cooling network: consumption in kWh x share of renewable energy in the urban cooling network in Year Y;
electricity: share of energy produced and used on site or share of renewable energy produced near the site and directly consumed on site with proof (does not concern Guarantees of Origin contracts).
The total amount of renewable energy (in kWh) is compared to the total energy consumption in the "Management" scope for the portfolio. The share of renewable energy reported in the NFIS corresponds to the like-for-like climate-adjusted data.
The share of renewable energy in the urban networks is provided by the suppliers on their websites. If the supplier does not share data on its website, the latest available values from ADEME are used.
Adjustments for climate extremes are carried out according to the methodology used under the eco-energy scheme for tertiary buildings, described in the French Construction and Housing Code (Code de la construction et de l'habitation).
The benchmark energy consumption referred to in 1° of Article R.174-23 of the French Construction and Housing Code and the annual energy consumption referred to in Article R.174-29 of the same Code are adjusted for climate variability.
Adjustments for climate variability are made individually for each département in France. Climate data is taken from the Météo France weather station most representative of the site.
Adjustments for climate variability are made on the basis of the average heating degree day of the reference weather station over the 2000-2019 period. The weather station chosen for Vitura's assets is the one in Paris – Montsouris.
Adjustments to energy consumption for heating and cooling are made, in line with climate variability, on the basis of the corresponding actual consumption when measured or allocated by key, or by default using a consumption ratio per degree day.
$$\mathcal{CAfs\_heat(n)} = \mathcal{Cfs\_heat(n)} \times \left[ \frac{\mathcal{WDD\_Tbase\_average}}{\mathcal{WDD\_Tbase\_n}} - 1 \right]^{-1}$$
Where:
0.03 [kWh/sq.m/degree]: deviation of the theoretical heating consumption per unit area per degree of deviation from the benchmark;
CAfe heat (n) [kWh]: adjustment reflecting climate variability in the amount of final energy required for heating in the current year. The adjustment is made to consumption covering heating. It may be positive or negative depending on weather conditions;
$$\text{Cafe cooling (n)} = \text{Cfe cooling (n)} \times \left[ \frac{SDD \text{(Tbase, average)}}{SDD \text{ (Tbase, n)}} - 1 \right]$$
$$\text{CAC} \text{e} \text{cooling (n)} = 0.05 \times \text{S} \text{ cooling} \times \text{SDD (Tbase, n)} \times \left[ \frac{SDD (Tbase, average)}{SDD (Tbase, n)} - 1 \right]$$
Where:
For each property, this method represents the annual energy consumption level that would have been recorded in an average, constant climate. It is therefore possible to compare and analyze the change in the inherent energy consumption levels and greenhouse gas emissions for a constant reporting structure based on identical weather conditions.
The 2022 carbon tax is calculated based on the greenhouse gas emissions linked to energy consumption at the six properties. The assumption used for the cost of the carbon tax is €25.5/tCO2eq (carbon price according to the 2021 Carbon Disclosure Project, GHG Scope 1 & 2).
Calculations of the main social and governance indicators presented in the report are performed in accordance with the following methods:
▪ Percentage of respondents to the responsible purchasing survey: service providers' and suppliers' participation in the responsible purchasing policy is calculated based on the response rate to the responsible purchasing questionnaire, weighted by the providers' share in terms of purchase volume (for providers with purchase volumes of more than €50 thousand). The survey is conducted at the end of the year for providers who have not yet responded, with responses received until the first quarter of the following year. Provider responses are updated in the event of changes to Vitura's responsible purchasing policy.

The organizational chart below shows the Group's legal structure:

The Group owns, manages and develops a real estate portfolio valued at EUR 1,506m at December 31, 2022. The portfolio comprises six large office properties in the Paris region (extended Paris CBD and the inner suburbs).
(i) Europlaza at Paris-La Défense has a usable surface area of approximately 52,100 sq.m and generated IFRS rental income of EUR 16.6m in 2022 compared with EUR 17m in 2021.
(ii) Arcs de Seine at Boulogne-Billancourt comprises three buildings with a usable surface area of around 47,200 sq.m and generated IFRS rental income of EUR 11.7m in 2022 compared with EUR 12.9m in 2021.
(iii) Rives de Bercy has a usable surface area of approximately 31,900 sq.m and generated IFRS rental income of EUR 3.7m in 2022 compared with EUR 6.1m in 2021.
(iv) Hanami at Rueil-Malmaison comprises eight office buildings with a usable surface area of approximately 34,400 sq.m and generated IFRS rental income of EUR 8.1m in 2022 compared with EUR 8.4m in 2021.
(v) Passy Kennedy, an office building with a surface area of approximately 23,800 sq.m, is part of a property complex located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. It generated IFRS rental income of EUR 9.4m in 2022 compared with EUR 10.1m in 2021.
(vi) Office Kennedy, an office building with a surface area of approximately 9,200 sq.m, is part of a property complex located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. It generated IFRS rental income of EUR 4.6m in 2022 compared with EUR 0.9m in 2021 (building acquired in October 2021).
At December 31, 2022, excluding the Rives de Bercy property which is undergoing redevelopment work, the portfolio's occupancy rate stood at 81.1% including leases signed with an effective date in 2023, and at 75.7% excluding such leases. This compares with an occupancy rate of 78.5% at December 31, 2021. At end-2022, the weighted average remaining lease term was 5.1 years.
The Group's consolidated financial statements show revenue of EUR 54.0m, down 2.4% year-on-year, and a net loss of EUR 4.2m compared with net income of EUR 36.9m in 2021.
The consolidated and annual financial statements will be submitted for approval at the General Shareholders' Meeting to be held on May 10, 2023.
Global economic activity experienced a widespread slowdown with inflation reaching high levels compared to the last few decades. Rising raw material costs, tighter financial conditions in France and Russia's invasion of Ukraine are all weighing heavily on the economic outlook.
This complex economic environment has had an impact on the performance, valuation and liquidity of the Group's real estate assets.
In 2022, Vitura delivered a solid rental performance with leases signed, extended or renewed on 23,000 sq.m, i.e., 13% of the portfolio's total surface area. The fourth quarter was particularly active, with seven transactions secured for a total of 10,000 sq.m.
Some 8,000 sq.m concerns new space, representing a positive impact on the Group's occupancy rate. This mainly concerns Arcs de Seine and Europlaza, which have been repositioned through regular investment programs and have proven their attractiveness by achieving occupancy rates of 78% and 81%, respectively. The 3 percentage point drop in the Group's occupancy rate, which stood at 81% at December 31, 2022, compared with 84% at December 31, 2021, is attributable to Unilocations' departure from Europlaza.
Thanks to these signings, extensions and renewals, the average remaining lease term remains at five years.
The Group's tenants are mainly large corporates with solid profiles, over 90% of which have a Dun & Bradstreet rating of 1 or 2. These accounts contributed to stable rental income of EUR 54.0m in 2022 (compared with EUR 55.4m in 2021). The full-year impact of leases signed in 2022 will be felt in 2023.
Vitura is committed to continuously improving performance and service. To meet its tenants' short-, medium- and long-term expectations with precision and speed, Vitura works with recognized partners, putting people first in keeping with its vision of "Workplaces for people. By people."
As part of the repositioning of the Arcs de Seine campus in Boulogne Billancourt, which began in 2016 with the renovation of the common areas and building B, 2022 saw the renovation of 10,000 sq.m building C, by G+ Architectes. In early 2023, the campus' existing amenities, which include a restaurant area and private gardens, were rounded out with a new fitness center and business center, redesigned by ilimelgo.
As with the work carried out on Europlaza in La Défense, the renovation of Arcs de Seine once again demonstrates the ability of Vitura's teams to successfully implement ambitious redevelopment projects.
Rives de Bercy, vacated by Crédit Foncier in December 2022, is currently being renovated by architecture firm Naço. Designed to meet new user expectations, the work will open up access to the heart of the building – its patios and gardens – which will become its new entrance, closer to the metro, footpaths and cycle paths. Naço has also been closely assisted on the 30,000 sq.m project by environmental consultant Wild Trees, who are helping to push the boundaries of environmental performance based on five major concerns: low-carbon footprint, circular economy, energy efficiency, biodiversity and comfort/well-being. The work will be delivered in the first quarter of 2024.
In line with its long-term value creation objective, Vitura is preparing a repositioning program for Passy Kennedy and Office Kennedy. The aim is to bring the two complexes together within a single 34,000 sq.m campus, located along the Seine in Paris' wider central business district. The campus will offer a host of amenities to meet market expectations – food service facilities, a gym, wellness and social areas, as well as facilities encouraging low-carbon mobility – and be aligned with the most exacting environmental standards.
The estimated portfolio value (excluding transfer duties) stood at EUR 1,506m at year-end, down 3% compared with the previous 12 months due to a slight increase in capitalization rates in all sectors.
Since the Company was founded in 2006, environmental excellence has been one of Vitura's core values. Each year, it
The change in rental income between 2021 and 2022 was due to the following positive and negative factors: On the downside, the departure of Crédit Foncier de France from half of the surface area, as well as the departure of Canal+ at the end of September 2021. On the upside, the acquisition of Office Kennedy in October 2021, the impact of leases signed in 2021 and 2022 as well as index-linked rent increases.
strengthens its leadership position with an increasingly demanding and innovative action plan. Vitura has been awarded the highest levels of certification by non-financial rating agencies, and in 2022 was ranked world number one in the GRESB ranking (listed office property companies category) for the fourth year in a row. This achievement comes despite increasing competition, as regulations now require all real estate companies to take action in this area.
Vitura also brings its stakeholders on board through an ISO 14001-certified environmental management system.
In 2022, Vitura went a step further in its environmental approach. Recognizing that ESG information must be as accessible, reliable and verifiable as financial information, Vitura automated the collection of energy data at all of its sites thanks to a new partnership with Stonal, one of the leaders in this market. In addition, amid tensions over Europe's energy supply, Vitura stepped up its efforts to raise awareness and educate its stakeholders on energy issues and ESG more generally. Ahead of winter, it initiated energy efficiency plans with its property managers and tenants. Thanks to Vitura's already close relationship with its tenants, the teams were able to spring into action rapidly and draw up programs tailored to the buildings in question and their specific characteristics. This saw the creation of CSR communities that will help foster discussion and unlock new initiatives.
This approach has yielded clear results: in 2022, the Group reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 40% and its energy consumption by 32% compared to 2013.

Vitura will continue with its investment program for each of its properties and will monitor any opportunities to develop its portfolio in the Greater Paris office property market, while continuing to market vacant surface area in the properties it owns through its subsidiaries.
To Vitura's knowledge, there has been no significant change in the Group's financial or commercial position since December 31, 2022.
The Group's insurance strategy aims to protect its assets and cover any potential liability.
It aims to ensure the Group's continuity in the event of various risks arising, reduce costs relating to the occurrence of said risks, constantly improve guarantees and the management of compensation payments, and deliver a quality service to tenants.
The main risks for which the Group has taken out insurance coverage are damage to its property and the resulting loss of rent, and civil liability as a property owner or as a member of the real estate profession.
The insurance program includes:
In general, the Group considers its insurance coverage to be adequate in light of the value of the assets insured and the level of risk incurred.
Due to their strategic importance for the Group in terms of risk management, coverage against damage to property and/or operating losses and civil liability insurance for property owners account for the majority of the insurance budget.
These risks are insured as part of a program covering Vitura and all of its subsidiaries, taken out with leading insurance company Chubb European Group SE via the Group's insurance broker, Arthur J. Gallagher.
With respect to commercial leases, the Group encourages mutual waivers of legal action in order to aid the claims handling process.
The properties held by the Group are all located in different parts of the Greater Paris region. Consequently, a total loss affecting one of its buildings would have a limited impact on its financial position. Moreover, the coverage has been calculated to amply cover a major incident affecting the Group's largest property.
These policies cover the buildings for an amount at least equal to their reinstatement value or replacement value (including the cost of replacing damaged machinery and equipment in line with the value of the building in question and the capital disclosed).
This policy:
Specialized firms regularly appraise the assets.
All premiums for insurance against damage to property and loss of rent are cross-charged to lessees in building operating charges.
The bodily, material and immaterial consequences of civil liability incurred due to the actions or misconduct of employees are covered by a Group contract.
The personal civil liability of the corporate officers and de jure and de facto managers of Group companies is covered to levels appropriate to the related risks.
As of the date of this Universal Registration Document, there is no significant outstanding claim that would be liable to change future coverage conditions or the total amount of insurance premiums or deductibles.

Vitura has carried out a review of the specific risks that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, portfolio, financial position, results or ability to meet its objectives. The Company incorporates risk management into its operational and decision-making processes.
The table below presents the main specific and important risks. It should be noted that the below risk table is not exhaustive.
Within each category, risks are ranked in order of importance (based on probability of occurrence and net impact).
| Risks | Description | Impacts |
|---|---|---|
| Strategic risks | ||
| Reputation risks linked to tenant health, safety, comfort and well-being |
Tenants give great importance to factors such as safety, comfort and well-being – appreciating an abundance of natural light and the right temperature – work space organization, and the existence of areas where they can meet and chat with co-workers, enjoy a meal, take a break and get a breath of fresh air among nature. Vitura pays close attention to these criteria at each property, as demonstrated in the interviews on pages 24, 26 and 28 of this Universal Registration Document. Each asset is subject to indoor air quality measurements and annual monitoring for the maintenance of environmental 7 certifications (HQE® exploitation and BREEAM-In-Use International). While Vitura's buildings were already compliant with health and safety standards, specific procedures have been introduced following the Covid-19 pandemic to further protect tenants.All ofthe leases provide for compliance with all regulations on health, safety and working conditions. Lastly, the Group regularly monitors changes to standards. |
– Obsolescence of buildings that no longer meet new tenant expectations in terms of health and safety, and comfort and well-being could lead to a decline in the appeal ofits buildings. – Vitura's buildings could be exposed to problems related to public health, safety or environmental protection. |
| Risks linked to the economic environment |
National and international economic conditions (growth, interest rates, unemployment, change in indices, etc.) and the development of new ways of working, especially remote working, could have a material adverse impact on the Group's business and financial results, particularly due to the concentration of the portfolio in a single geographic region (Paris and Greater Paris) and a single asset type (offices). As leases are signed for long periods, the weighted average remaining lease term was extended to 5.1 years atDecember 31, 2022 (versus 4.9 years atDecember 31, 2021). Its tenants are mainly large corporates with solid profiles, ensuring that the Group's financial position and results are secure. 3 Every time office space is vacated, it is renovated to the latest functional, technical and design standards. From 2014 to 2020, the Europlaza tower underwent a transformation, as did the Arcs de Seine campus between 2016 and 2022. Since 2021, Rives de Bercy has also been undergoing major redevelopment work. With each renovation, the buildings' private spaces become more flexible. Shared indoor and outside areas become fully-fledged work spaces, better suited for interaction, living and creativity, with new amenities on offer. All of this is designed to perfectly match the newer generations' ways of living and working, while preserving the properties' appeal and market rental values. In 2022, leases were signed, extended or renewed on more than 23,000 sq.m, i.e., 13% of the portfolio's total surface area. The Group is exposed to the risk of a decline in its tenants' financial solidity, which could result in |
– Liquidity of the real estate assets in the event of a forced sale: difficulty to dispose rapidly of part of its real estate assets under satisfactory conditions if such action were to prove necessary. – Fall in rental income and decline in the Group's financial position and results. – Decline in the Group's cash flow and results. – Decrease in the market value of the Group's real estate portfolio. – Difficulty to implement its rental, investment and diversification strategy. |
| Risk of a decline in tenants' financial position |
insolvency, particularly during health and economic crises. The risk is a decline in the rent collection rate due to financial difficulties suffered by tenants. (SeeNote 4.5 in section 1.5.4 of the consolidated financial statements.) The financial solidity of all prospective tenants is verified before leases are signed. At December 31, 2022, more than 90% of tenants were considered to be in a satisfactory financial position, 5 with a Dun & Bradstreet rating of 1 or 2, and guarantees must be provided for all new leases. In addition, the Group monitors all tenants on a quarterly basis through rent monitoring and collection procedures. At December 31, 2022, Vitura recorded a rent collection rate of nearly 100%, with no rent reductions or waivers requested by tenants. The current economic crisis therefore did not impact the Group's cash floworresults. |
– Late or missed payments. – Decline in the Group's cash flow and results. |
| Risk of dependence on certain lessees and a decline in the occupancy rate |
The Group made a strategic decision to develop rental partnerships with key accounts and large companies. Exposure to these companies could have an impact on the Group's revenue (seeNote 4.5 in section 1.5.4. of the consolidated financial statements). The Group's six property complexes are home to 43 tenants. The five main tenants, Radio France (Passy Kennedy/Office Kennedy), Axens (Hanami Campus), Huawei (Arcs de Seine), KPMG (Europlaza) and the European Banking Authority (Europlaza) account for 54% ofrental income.AtDecember 31, 2022, the weighted average remaining lease term of these main tenants was 4.4 years. Contractual advance notice means that departures can be planned for and appropriate measures implemented to prepare for a rapid turnaround in tenants (e.g., floor renovations, pre-leasing, etc.). At December 31, 2022, the overall occupancy rate of the Group's properties stood at 81%, including leases signed taking effectin 2023, and excluding theRives deBercy building undergoing development. The overall occupancy rate can be broken down as follows: 81% at Europlaza, 78% at Arcs de Seine, 10 85% at Hanami Campus, 73% at Passy Kennedy and 100% at Office Kennedy (see section 2.1, "Rental activity", of this Universal Registration Document). The Rives de Bercy building, currently being renovated, will meet the most forward-thinking companies' expectations and delight visitors with its vast gardens,whichwill lead into its newentrance – the first ofits kind. Plans have been in place to renovate and market recently vacant space for some time. All vacant units undergo renovation work, the cost of which is covered by restoration indemnities paid by tenants under their lease. Should the cost of such work exceed the restoration indemnities received, Vitura will cover the difference using operating cash flow. The Group constantly monitors its vacant premises, keeping an eye on the rental market aswell as upcoming lease expirations. Under certain credit agreements, fluctuations in the occupancy rate could trigger a change in the interestrate marginapplied(seethe"Financialresources"sectionofthisUniversalRegistrationDocument). |
– Decline in the Group's financial position and results in the event that one or more lessees request more favorable lease terms upon renewal or decide to terminate their lease (fall in rental income and extra operating expenses). – Increase in financial expenses when the credit agreement provides for an increase/decrease in the interest rate margin based on occupancy rate. – Decrease in the market value of the Group's real estate portfolio. |

| Risks linked to the majority shareholder |
The Northwood Concert (as defined in section 9.5.2 of Chapter 6 "Legal Information") is the majority shareholder with 58.21% of the Company's share capital and voting rights. TheNorthwood Concert also manages otherreal estate assets in France. Consequently, it may find that it has a conflict of interest with regard to certain transactions (e.g., lease negotiations or disposal of a building), which could have an adverse impact on the Company, and in turn on the Group's assets, financial position,results or strategy. The Group applies governance rules based on the principles of transparency and independence, with a three-tier organization: Board of Directors, three active Board committees and an Executive Management team that works closely with shareholders. Board of Directors' committees are set up and independent directors are appointed to the Board ofDirectors and its committees to ensure that control cannot be exercised in an abusive manner. The Board of Directors' Internal Rules and Regulations 9 contain a Directors' Charter, which requires each director to be attentive to the division and exercise of the respective powers and responsibility of the Company's governing bodies and to ensure that no one can exercise uncontrolled discretionary power over the Company. The internal rules for preventing and managing Board members' conflicts of interest are included in the Directors' Charter. Article 6 of the Charter provides that: "Directors shall inform the Board of Directors of any conflicts of interest, even potential, in which they could be directly or indirectly involved. They shall refrain from participating in any debates and decision-making relating to the subjects in question. More generally, directors shall act with total independence and without pressure of any kind. They should inform the Chairman of any family ties they may have with another director or the Chief Executive Officer." Lastly, the Company ensures that all shareholders have equal access to information. |
Significant influence over the Company and the running of the Group's business. |
| Regulatory risks | ||
| Risks linked to the obligations applicable to the Company as a result of its "SIIC" tax status |
The Company is exposed to risks linked to the obligations applicable to the Company as a result of its "SIIC" tax status, possible changes to the conditions of said status or the loss thereof. The Company has elected for the preferential tax treatment granted to SIICs in accordance with Article 208 C of the French Tax Code ("SIIC status"). As a SIIC, the Company is exempt from corporate income tax on the portion of its income resulting from (i) the lease of buildings, (ii) capital gains generated on the sale of buildings, or shares in partnerships having the same purpose as that of the SIIC or subsidiaries having elected for the SIIC regime, and (iii) under certain conditions, dividends received from subsidiaries having elected for SIIC or SPPICAV status. This exemption is subject to compliance with a number of conditions, including the obligation to distribute a significant portion of its earnings to shareholders. Failure to meet this obligation could result in the Company losing its SIIC status. As of the date of this Universal Registration Document, the Company is compliant with all of its obligations to distribute earnings. Moreover, one or more shareholders acting in concert within the meaning of Article L.233-10 of the 8 French Commercial Code (with the exception of SIICs) must not directly or indirectly hold 60% or more of the share capital of a SIIC. In addition, the Company may be required to pay a 20% levy on dividends (i) distributed from tax-exempt income to (ii) shareholders (other than individuals) directly or indirectly owning at least 10% of dividend rights in the Company at the time of payment, and (iii) on which the shareholder is not subject to corporate income tax (or equivalent tax). The Company's bylaws expressly stipulate that the shareholder concerned shall be responsible for paying the levy but the Company may experience difficulties in collecting said levy or with shareholder insolvency if the levy cannot be withheld on the dividend. The Group constantly monitors changes to regulations in order to anticipate and analyze these risks in a rapidly evolving regulatory environment. In addition, it regularly monitors its shareholder base to ensure itremains compliantwith the 60% threshold. As of the date of this Universal Registration Document, the Northwood Concert holds 58.21% of the Group's capital and voting rights. |
Material adverse impact on the Group's financial position, results and outlook. |
| Regulatory and reputation risks linked to energy |
Vitura's ambitious and proactive CSR policy gives it a strong competitive advantage. Thanks to its "Upgreen Your Business" program, the Group achieved a 32% reduction in energy consumption across its portfolio since 2013, driven by an effective action plan and the involvement of all stakeholders in the value chain. The Company was also named a Global Sector Leader in the 2022 Global Real Estate SustainabilityBenchmark's (GRESB) listed office property companies category. Vitura's portfolio will therefore be easily compliant with the tertiary eco-energy mechanism, issued within the framework of France's ELAN law which, from 2022, requires all owners of commercial property of over1,000 sq.m to submit their energy consumption via a digital platform run byADEME (the 6 French Agency for Ecological Transition): OPERAT. This platform provides information on building energy consumption (common and private areas), aswell as the action planswith quantitative objectives to reach the law's targets, i.e., 40% reduction by 2030, 50% by 2040 and 60% by 2050. The year with the oldest available datawill be the reference year – 2013 forVitura. Vitura is also preparing to meet the requirements of the EU Taxonomy. It has implemented a tool for collecting and managing ESG data so that it can produce and analyze key environmental indicators and |
– Decrease in buildings' marketability. – Increase in compliance costs, liability, limits, restrictions on the use of carbon-intensive assets, investments in newtechnology, etc. – Increase in the cost of operating real estate assets due to higher energy prices. – Damage to the Group's image and reputation. |

| Financial risks | ||
| Risk of error in estimating asset value, or failure of assumptions used to materialize |
The Group records its investment property atfair value, pursuantto the model provided forin IAS40. Itis therefore exposed to the risk of changes in asset values estimated by independent experts, following adjustments to the main assumptions used (yield, rental value and occupancy rate). This could impact the Group's net asset value (see Note 4.2 in section 1.5.4 of the consolidated financial statements). Each asset is valued by an independent appraiser, in the form of a detailed annual report updated every six months. The Group discloses any information in its possession that is likely to have a significant impact on the value of its buildings.At June 30, 2022 andDecember 31, 2022, all of Vitura's properties had been 1 appraised by real estate experts Cushman & Wakefield Valuation and CBRE Valuation (see expert appraisal reports on page 226 of this Universal Registration Document). The portfolio value, while benefiting from a sound asset management strategy and solid fundamentals (ultra-modern services, shared indoor spaces redesigned as living and socializing areas, gardens, and flexible office spaces), fell from EUR 1,560m excluding transfer duties at December 31, 2021 to EUR 1,506m excluding transfer duties atDecember 31, 2022, i.e., a decline of 3.4%, in linewith the sector average. |
– Fall in the Group's consolidated earnings underIFRS. – Risk of an increase in the cost of debt. – Risk of non-compliance with financial ratios. – Decline in the Group's borrowing capacity. |
| Liquidity risks | Prudent liquidity risk management involves maintaining sufficient liquidity and short-term investment securities, being able to raise funds based on suitably adapted lines of credit and the ability to unwind market positions. The Group's loans were taken out with leading bank pools. Note 4.7 in section 1.5.4 and Note 5.26 in section 1.5.5 of the consolidated financial statements contain a description of the different credit facilities contained in the credit agreements. At December 31, 2022, the carrying amount of current and non-current bank borrowings taken out by the Group (excluding accrued interest not yet due) stood at EUR 827m and the amount of cash and cash equivalents stood at EUR 15m. At the last interest payment date, the Group was compliant with its bank covenants and the other commitments under its four credit lines. The Group constantly monitors the duration of financing, counterparty diversification and monthly 2 cash flowforecasts. It strives to continuously optimize its financing terms and to improve its creditrating. In 2022, the debt borne by Hanami Rueil SCI was refinanced for a nominal amount of EUR 94m falling due in June 2025, and the debt borne by CGR Proco SCI was extended under the same conditions until December 2023. As of the date of this Universal Registration Document, given the maturity date of this credit agreement, the Company does not have sufficient net working capital to meet its obligations orits operating cash requirements for the next twelve months. The amount required for the Company to continue operating in 2022 is estimated at around EUR121m. Given the discussions currently in progress with reputable lending institutions, Management expects the refinancing to be successful. After taking into account the above-mentioned refinancing, cash flow generation for the twelve months from December 31, 2022 amounts to EUR18m. |
– Option available to lenders of declaring all outstanding amounts, accrued interest and charges thereon to be immediately payable, and of enforcing all or part of the collateral and guarantees granted in the event of a default. – Refinancing for smaller amounts or underless favorable terms. – Decrease in Vitura's credit score, affecting the Group's ability to raise funds. |
| Financial counterparty risk | The Group takes out lines of credit and interest rate hedges with financial institutions. Such contracts expose the Group to the risk of default of the counterparties involved. The Group works with a consistently diverse range of financial counterparties, mainly first-class financial institutions: (i) Prothin entered into a credit agreement with Aareal Bank AG, Natixis, and Natixis Pfandbriefbank AG for EUR 525m, (ii) Hanami Rueil SCI entered into a credit agreement with La Banque Postale Crédit 4 Entreprises and Société Générale for EUR 94m, (iii) CGR Propco SCI entered into a credit agreement with Société Générale for EUR 148.5m and (iv) Office Kennedy SCI entered into a credit agreement with Société Générale for EUR 65.6m. See Section 3 of the "Review of the 2022 Fiscal Year" on page 89 of theUniversalRegistrationDocumentfor a detailed description ofthe credit agreements. |
Decline in the Group's cash flow and results. |

A summary of the main risks is provided in the table presented above.
In addition, a risk map is prepared by Executive Management and reviewed by the Audit and CSR Committee.
Material specific risks are calculated by measuring three main factors: impact, likelihood of occurrence and effectiveness of the risk management system.
The impact and effectiveness of the risk management system are ranked on a scale of 1 to 5 for each risk, 1 being very low and 5 being very high. The same scale is applied for likelihood of occurrence, 1 being unlikely and 5 being highly likely.
The risk management systems cover all measures implemented by the Company to help reduce the risk's impact or likelihood of occurrence.
The level of risk remaining after the risk management system has been implemented, i.e., residual risk, is taken into account in the risk mapping process.
The Company is required to provide details of its risk management internal control procedures. The objectives of such procedures are described below.
The Group's risk management system is designed to:
Among the various objectives of internal control, one is to prevent and control risks resulting from the Company's activity, in particular any risks of accounting or financial errors or fraud. However, as with any control system, there is no absolute guarantee that all risks will be fully eliminated.
\
The internal control system is also designed to ensure that management decisions, the way in which the Company undertakes various operations and personnel activities, are duly in line with the strategic business orientations defined by Executive Management.
Lastly, internal control procedures are also used to verify that the accounting, financial and management information communicated to the Company's management bodies fairly reflects the Company's activity and situation.
The various internal control procedures implemented by the Company are described below.
The Audit and CSR Committee, the Appointments and Compensation Committee and the Investment Committee were set up for this purpose. The role and assignments of each Committee are described in section VI.4.1.2 of the Board of Directors' report on corporate governance.
The Company implements a policy of transparency and public disclosure to best satisfy the shareholders' and potential investors' interests. The Chief Executive Officer is in charge of the Company's financial communication.
The Company decided to include similar provisions in the Board of Directors' Internal Rules and Regulations, inspired by the Reference Code. These Internal Rules and Regulations are available on the Company's website: http://www.vitura.fr/en.
In addition, the Internal Rules and Regulations establish a Directors' Charter, which provides an ethical framework within which the directors exercise their duties. In particular, the Directors' Charter provides that:
The Directors' Charter also states, as required, the stock market regulations applicable in cases of market abuse (insider trading, unlawful disclosure of inside information), black-out periods and transparency (disclosure of securities transactions).
The procedures for processing accounting and financial information are currently organized as follows:
Northwood Investors France Asset Management has been the Group's asset manager since November 5, 2015. The ERP used by building managers to issue bills and receipts for rental charges and collect payments is Yardi.
The property managers' accounting department records the bills and the asset manager checks them.
The expenses budget relating to each building is prepared by the property managers and validated by the asset manager.
Property managers use software to receive and record day-to-day expenses related to the buildings. They also make payments and approve invoices.
(ii) Consolidated financial statements
Procedures relating to the preparation and processing of financial information are the responsibility of Executive Management. The accounts closing procedures comprise:
Lastly, Executive Management's role is to supervise the various contributors in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and the resulting financial information.
As part of their audit of the consolidated financial statements, the Statutory Auditors review the consolidation packages and consolidation adjustments within the scope set out for their work.
The books are kept by accounting firms. The Company's tax lawyers are consulted depending on the nature of the transactions carried out by the Company.
The information necessary for bookkeeping is obtained from the property manager, the asset manager and banks.
The Company's Executive Management approves invoices and authorizes payments.
Executive Management supervises the accounting department and any external accounting service providers.
Each quarter, an interim statement of account is prepared by the certified public accountant and sent to the Executive Management to be checked and approved.
Financial statements are prepared by the certified public accountant in conjunction with the Company's Executive Management and its advisors.
The Audit and CSR Committee reviews the relevance of the main assumptions and principles adopted therein.
ThefinancialstatementsareauditedbytheStatutoryAuditors.
With a view to ensuring the efficient processing of financial information, the Company has set up disclosure and reporting procedures under which the Chief Executive Officer must, within thirty days of the end of the first half-year, submit to the Board of Directors for control: an unaudited balance sheet (prepared at the date of the last day of the half-year in question), an income statement and a statement of cash flows (for the half-year), a comparison of the balance sheet, income statement and the budget, as well as a comparison between such statements and the budget and the revised income forecasts for the year in progress.
The Company has appointed various external service providers to ensure the management of the Company and its assets. Accordingly, its assets are managed by Northwood Investors France Asset Management, while the duties of property management are entrusted to CBRE, Humakey, and Esset and those of accountant to PwC and Cairn Corporate Services. Executive Management oversees the work of these external parties through weekly exchanges and contacts with each of them. Meetings are also organized whenever necessary.
The above mechanisms provide reasonable assurance that the internal control objectives for the previous year were met. Given the Company's size and current activity, it will endeavor to maintain its internal controls with the permanent objective of mitigating risks in order to protect its assets.
Since June 1, 2017, Chairmen and Chief Executive Officers of certain companies have been required to take steps to prevent and detect corruption and influence peddling in France and abroad:
(i) companies with at least 500 employees, or belonging to a group whose parent company has its registered office in France and which has at least 500 employees; and
(ii) companies with revenue of more than €100m (individual or consolidated).
These rules do not apply to Vitura. However, it plans to implement the following measures:
As ESG-climate risks are a core pillar of its strategy, the Group monitors the achievement of its objectives very closely, as described in the NFIS (Non-Financial Information Statement) on page 47.
An ESG-climate risk analysis was conducted on Vitura's 21 key issues as described in the non-financial information statement. For each key issue, physical and transition risks, including technological, reputation, market and regulatory risks, are analyzed in accordance with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations, the guide to Article 173 for real estate managers published by the Observatoire de l'immobilier durable (OID) and PwC, and the MEDEF's conclusions on NFIS reports.
Each risk is ranked on a scale of 0 to 5 based on its criticality.
Five critical risks have been identified as a priority: reputation risk linked to health, comfort and well-being; regulatory and reputation risk linked to energy; regulatory and reputation risk linked to greenhouse gas emissions; physical risks linked to climate change and risk linked to stakeholder relations.
Based on these five risks, Vitura has drawn up an ambitious list of objectives and concrete actions.
The health, safety, comfort and well-being of tenants is central to Vitura's corporate vision. To this end, many actions were continued, launched or expanded on in 2022, including regulatory facilities audits, tracking of tenant satisfaction, an annual events program, access to green spaces for all, and a variety of "wellness" services (socializing areas, games rooms, book-share libraries, fitness spaces, etc.).
Vitura carries out a range of initiatives so that itself and its stakeholders are well positioned to better manage their energy consumption and meet new regulations, often several years ahead of schedule.
The list of main achievements expanded further in 2022 to include support for tenants with the implementation of France's tertiary green energy decree, energy audits, automation of energy data collection, installation of a building management system at all properties, BREEAM In-Use International and NF HQE® Exploitation certifications, and the rollout of energy efficiency plans for all buildings.
France's National Low-Carbon Strategy (SNBC) sets a roadmap for an ecological and inclusive transition to carbon neutrality by 2050, in line with the objectives set out in the Paris Agreement.
Vitura is aiming for a 54% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions linked to energy consumption at its properties by 2030 compared to 2013. So far, they have declined by 40% since 2013.
To this end, Vitura has set up multi-year renovation plans to improve the energy performance of its buildings. It asks all companies working on its sites to sign its clean building site charter (low-pollution building site charter). Vitura uses urban heating and cooling networks that promote access to renewable energy generated from biomass (household waste) or geothermal sources.
Highlighted in Articles 7 and 8 of the Paris Agreement, resilience to climate change in the real estate sector means strengthening and adapting buildings to make them more resistant to climate change. Given the location of its assets, the physical risks related to Vitura's business are: floods, heatwaves, urban heat islands and storms. Vitura has mapped the physical climate risks to which its assets are exposed and is working to implement solutions to adapt to them.
Vitura knows that it is absolutely essential for all of its stakeholders to join its commitments. To achieve this, it uses a wide range of measures, such as drawing up a materiality matrix, raising awareness of ESG issues via regular events, conducting satisfaction surveys, providing environmental appendices to leases, and having stakeholders sign a responsible purchasing charter.
The French law on energy transition for green growth and the tertiary eco-energy mechanism issued within the framework of the ELAN law generate compliance costs, liability, restrictions on the use of carbon intensive assets and investments in new technology.
The financial impact of a potential increase in the carbon tax and a rise in energy prices is marginal relative to Vitura's other financial expense items.
\
Vitura proactively monitors regulatory changes and sets itself ambitious objectives to reduce its portfolio's energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

The military operations in Ukraine that began in February 2022 and the sanctions imposed on Russia by numerous countries negatively impacted the activity of many international groups, in particular due to a significant increase in energy prices, inflation and ECB interest rates. With regard to the Vitura Group, the events did not have an impact on the performance, valuation and liquidity of its assets.
Northwood Investors France Asset Management SAS (the "Advisor") and Prothin, Hanami Rueil SCI, CGR Propco SCI and Office Kennedy SCI (the "Real Estate Subsidiaries") entered into a new advisory services agreement, effective January 1, 2022 for an initial term of six years expiring on January 1, 2028 (the "New ASA"). This agreement provides for an incentive fee (see 5.25).
On June 14, 2022, the Group refinanced the debt of Hanami Rueil SCI for a nominal amount of EUR 94m, repayable at maturity on June 14, 2025. The due date may be extended by an additional two years.
In 2022, the Group was subject to a tax audit covering the periods from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2020. No adjustments were applied as a result of the audit.
For the purposes of comparison, the financial information presented in the IFRS consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 includes the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and International Accounting Standards (IAS) applicable to reporting periods ended December 31, 2022, as adopted by the European Union (hereafter referred to as "IFRS"). Dividend payments are decided by the General Shareholders' Meeting on the basis of Vitura's financial statements prepared in accordancewith French GAAPand not on the basis of the IFRSfinancial statements. In addition, Vitura is required to comply with certain dividend payment obligations in accordance with its election for tax treatment as a SIIC (see Note 2.8). The consolidated financial statements were adopted by the Board of Directors on March 7, 2023.
The Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 have been prepared in accordance with international accounting standards (IAS/IFRS) and with the interpretations of the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC) and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) as adopted by the European Union at December 31, 2022 and applicable at that date. For the purposes of comparison, the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, prepared according to the same standards, are also presented.
For the periods presented, the standards and interpretations adopted in the European Union and applicable to the Group are similar to the standards and interpretations effective for these periods as published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The Group's financial statements are therefore prepared in accordance with IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations, as published by the IASB.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention, except in the case of investment property, certain financial instruments and assets held for sale, which are carried at fair value in accordance with IAS 40, IAS 32, IFRS 5 and IFRS 9.
The standards below, effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, do not have a material impact on the Group's financial statements:
The IASB has published the following standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that are applicable to the Group:
These standards, amendments to standards and interpretations were not early adopted by the Group and should not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

All entities included in the scope of consolidation have a December 31 year-end. Given the creation of Office Kennedy SCI on July 12, 2021, the scope of consolidation at December 31, 2022 is unchanged from that at December 31, 2021.
Business combinations are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 3. A business combination is where the acquirer acquires a controlling interest in one or several businesses. IFRS 3 defines a business as a combination of the three following elements:
In accordance with IFRS 3, the cost of a business combination reflects the acquisition-date fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed or incurred and equity instruments issued in exchange for the acquiree.
No fair value adjustments or goodwill were recognized on the firsttime consolidation of Prothin SAS, as the company was incorporated by Vitura on June 22, 2011. This was also the case for CGR Holdco EURL and CGR Propco SCI, which were incorporated in December 2017, and Office Kennedy SCI, which was incorporated on July 12, 2021.
K Rueil and Hanami Rueil SCI entered the scope of consolidation with effect from December 15, 2016. The acquisition did not meet the definition of a business combination within the meaning of IFRS 3 and was therefore treated as the acquisition of a group of assets. The acquisition cost relating to the group of assets was therefore allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in proportion to their respective fair value at the acquisition date. No goodwill was recognized.
Within the framework of IFRS 8, the Group has not identified different operating segments insofar as its assets solely comprise commercial real estate located in the Paris area.
IFRS 8 states that operating segments may be aggregated if they are similar in each of the following respects:
Consequently, the Group does not have significant additional disclosure requirements as a result of applying IFRS 8.
Property let out to tenants under long-term operating leases to earn rental income or held for capital appreciation or both, and not occupied by the Group, is classified as investment property. Investment property includes owned land and buildings.
On acquisition, investment property is measured at the acquisition price including transaction costs (legal fees, transfer duties, etc.) in accordance with IAS 40.
After initial recognition, investment property is remeasured at fair value. As a result, no depreciation or impairment is recognized on investment property. Fair value is measured net of registration tax by an external real estate valuer at the end of each reporting period. The methodology used by the external real estate valuer is described in Note 2.4 below.
Subsequent expenditure may only be allocated to the assets' carrying amount when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the property will flow to the Group, and the cost of the property can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income during the period in which they are incurred. Changes in the fair value of investment property are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.
The fair value of property is measured by an external real estate valuer twice a year in accordance with the benchmark treatment in IAS 40.
Following a rotation in 2019, the Company's external real estate valuers are Cushman & Wakefield Valuation for Europlaza, Rives de Bercy and Arcs de Seine, and CBRE Valuation for Passy Kennedy, Hanami and Office Kennedy.
When preparing the financial statements, management and the external real estate valuer are required to use certain estimates and assumptions that are likely to affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses reported in the financial statements and in the accompanying notes. The Group and its real estate valuer are required to review these estimates and appraisals on an ongoing basis in light of past experience and other factors deemed of material importance with regard to economic conditions. The amounts reported in future financial statements may differ from these estimates as a result of changes in assumptions or circumstances.
The values of investment property measured by the real estate valuers represent the best estimates at December 31, 2022, based on recent market observations and valuation methods commonly used within the profession. These estimates are not intended to anticipate any market changes.
The Cushman & Wakefield valuation reports state that economic and financial uncertainty, in particular linked to the rise in interest rates and the war in Ukraine, could affect the real estate market in France, but that there is sufficient transparency and transaction volume for the December 31, 2022 valuations.
Management believes that the fair values determined by the experts reasonably reflect the fair value of the portfolio. These fair values should be read in conjunction with the sensitivities presented in section 1.5.3 below.
The valuation methods used, as described in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, remain unchanged.
The valuers calculated the fair value of the real estate assets in accordance with the professional standards set out in the French Real Estate Valuation Charter.
The market value of the property is measured using its estimated rental value and the discounted cash flow (DCF) and/or capitalization methods.
Market rental value corresponds to the amount for which an asset could be reasonably let at the time of the valuation. This is analyzed as the annual financial consideration for the use of a real estate asset under a lease agreement. Market rental value therefore corresponds to the amount that could be obtained from a lessee for the use of the property under a new lease, subject to the standard conditions of occupancy for the property category concerned. Rental value is often determined through comparison with transactions on comparable properties in terms of location, use, composition and state of repair. It is subject to a reversion rate to reflect the specific features of the property concerned.
To estimate market value, independent experts use the following methods:
This method consists of discounting the annual cash flows generated by the asset, including the assumed resale at the end of a defined ownership period. Cash flows are defined as the total amount of all of the asset's revenues, net of expenses not rebillable to lessees.
This method consists of capitalizing the annual income generated by an asset with a capitalization rate defined by reference to the market. The rate used reflects the quality of the financial covenants as well as the long-term risks related to the property.
A discount is applied to the gross value to take account of transfer duties and registration costs, which are estimated at 7.50%.
Vitura applies IFRS 13, which defines fair value as the price that would be received in an orderly transaction to sell an asset or paid in an orderly transaction to transfer the liability at the measurement date under current market conditions.
IFRS 13 uses a three-level fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used as a basis to measure the assets and liabilities concerned.
The three levels are as follows:
Level 1: fair value corresponds to the unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2: fair value is determined, either directly or indirectly, using observable inputs.
Level 3: fair value is determined directly using unobservable inputs.
The categorization of the Group's investment property in accordance with IFRS 13 is presented in Note 5.1.
Financial assets and liabilities are recognized and measured in accordance with IFRS 9.
Loans and receivables include the non-current portion of the economic benefits of the lease,rent-free periods,rent discounts, the portion of fitting-out costs incurred by the lessee and borne by the lessor, and the lease premiums paid to lessees in accordance with IAS17 and interpretationSIC15.
Trade accounts receivable consist of accrued amounts receivable from lessees. They are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less any provisions for impairment.
As rent is usually billed in advance, trade accounts receivable consist of rents billed in respect of the following period.
The timing difference between the billing date and the end of the reporting period is eliminated by recognizing rent billed for future periods and not yet due under"Prepaid revenue" (seeNote 5.17).
IFRS 9 introduces a new model for recognizing impairment of financial assets based on expected credit losses.
However, it also sets forth a simplified approach for trade and lease receivables, which are often held by companies that do not have sophisticated credit risk tracking or management systems. This approach removes the need to calculate 12-month expected credit losses and track the increase in credit risk. Thus:
The Group has elected to apply the simplified approach.
After initial recognition, non-derivative financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Vitura has not opted for hedge accounting. Derivative financial instruments are therefore measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period with any gains or losses recognized in income.
Vitura applies IFRS 13, which defines fair value as the price that would be received in an orderly transaction to sell an asset or paid in an orderly transaction to transfer the liability at the measurement date under current market conditions (see Note 2.4).
The categorization of the Group's derivative financial instruments in accordance with IFRS 13 is presented in Note 5.13.
Ordinary shares are classified in shareholders' equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to new share issues are shown in shareholders' equity as a deduction from additional paid-in capital.
On August 29, 2006, Vitura entered into a liquidity agreement with Exane BNP Paribas. This agreement complies with the standard-type contract of the French Association of Investment Firms (Association française des entreprises d'investissement – AFEI) and the AFEI code of ethics of March 14, 2005, which was approved by the French financial markets authority (Autorité des marchés financiers – AMF) on March 22, 2005. Vitura entered into a second agreement with Exane BNP Paribas on November 27, 2017, followed by a third agreement on November 16, 2020 and a fourth agreement on December 6, 2021.
Under the terms of these agreements, Exane BNP Paribas may buy and sell Vitura shares on behalf of Vitura within the limits imposed by law and the authorizations granted by the Board of Directors within the scope of its share buyback program.
Under these liquidity agreements, the Group owned 33,764 treasury shares (representing 0.20% of its total issued shares) for a total amount of EUR 1,166k at December 31, 2022.
In accordance with IAS 32, these treasury shares are shown as a deduction from consolidated equity based on their acquisition cost (net of directly attributable transaction costs) or their initial carrying amount in the consolidated statement of financial position. Any capital gains or losses arising on the disposal of these shares are eliminated in the statement of comprehensive income and recognized against consolidated equity.
Cash allocated to the liquidity agreement and not invested in Vitura shares at the end of the reporting period is stated in "Other operating receivables".
Vitura has elected for the preferential tax treatment granted to listed real estate investment companies (SIICs) in accordance with Article 208 C of the French Tax Code (Code général des impôts). This election took effect on April 1, 2006.
Owing to this tax treatment, no corporate income tax is payable directly or indirectly through income from subsidiaries in respect of the real estate leasing business and no deferred taxes were recognized at December 31, 2022.
Similarly, no tax was payable on capital gains generated on the sale of buildings, shareholdings in subsidiaries eligible for the same tax treatment, or shareholdings in partnerships.
Prothin, Vitura's subsidiary, also benefits from this preferential tax treatment.
In addition, K Rueil is a SPPICAV (company investing predominantly in real estate with a variable share capital) that is exempt from paying corporate income tax.
Hanami Rueil SCI and CGR Propco SCI, subsidiaries of, respectively, K Rueil and Vitura, are transparent for tax purposes, within the meaning of Article 8 of the French Tax Code.
CGR Holdco EURL has not elected for preferential treatment as a SIIC.
Office Kennedy SCI is transparent for tax purposes, within the meaning of Article 8 of the French Tax Code.
Terms and conditions and impact of tax treatment as a SIIC
(b) SIICs that have elected for preferential treatment are exempt from paying corporate income tax on the portion of their income resulting from:
dividends received from subsidiaries having elected for preferential tax treatment and resulting from exempt income or from capital gains and dividends received from SPPICAVs whose share capital and voting rights have been at least 5%-owned for a minimum of two years, provided that they are redistributed in full during the fiscal year following the year in which they were received.
In addition, income generated by operations carried out by partnerships falling within the scope of Article 8 of the French Tax Code are deemed to be carried out directly by SIICs or their subsidiaries in proportion to their rights and are therefore exempt under the SIIC rules. Accordingly, this income must be distributed pursuant to the above-mentioned time limits and proportions, based on whetheritresults from the lease or sale of buildings orfrom dividends.
In the event that they choose to leave the SIIC tax regime at any time, the SIICs and their subsidiaries must add back to their taxable earnings for the period the portion of their income available for distribution at the end of said period which results from previously tax-exempt amounts.
IAS 19 requires entities to recognize as expenses all current or future benefits or compensation granted by an entity to its employees or to third parties over the period during which the rights to such benefits or compensation vest.
The Group only has three employees and therefore considers that its employee benefit commitments in respect of defined benefit plans are not material. Consequently, the amount of its employee benefit commitments was not measured at December 31, 2022.
On initial recognition, bank borrowings are measured at the fair value of the consideration received, less directly attributable transaction costs.
\
They are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The long-term portion (due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period) is classified in noncurrent borrowings and debt, while the short-term portion (due in less than 12 months) is classified in current borrowings and debt.
The Group leases out its real estate under operating leases. Assets leased under operating leases are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position within investment property.
Rental income is recognized over the lease term.
In accordance with IFRS 16, the financial impact of all of the provisions in the lease is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the period up to the date on which the lessee may terminate the lease without incurring any material financial consequences (usually after six years). Therefore, in order to accurately reflect the economic benefits of the lease, rent-free periods, rent discounts, the portion of fitting-out costs incurred by the lessee and borne by the lessor, and lease premiums paid to lessees are recognized overthe firm term ofthe lease.
Termination and restoration indemnities received from former lessees are recognized under "Miscellaneous services" in operating income.
Rental expenses incurred by the lessor on behalf of lessees and expenses chargeable to the lessees under the terms of the lease are recorded in the statement of comprehensive income under "Building-related costs".
The rebilling of rental expenses and expenses chargeable to lessees under the terms of the lease are recorded in the statement of comprehensive income under "Income from other services".
This approach is consistent with IFRS 15, insofar as the Group acts as principal: its "performance obligation" is to provide the underlying goods and services to its tenants. The Group is:
The portion of rental expenses concerning vacant premises is recorded directly in the statement of comprehensive income.
Rental expenses include building-related taxes (property tax, tax on office premises and tax on parking areas).
Other operating income and expenses comprise items that, due to their nature, are not included in the assessment of the Group's recurring operating performance.
Long-term payables and receivables are discounted when they are considered to have a material impact.
Earnings per share is a key indicator used by the Group, and is calculated by dividing net attributable income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Treasury shares are not considered as outstanding and are therefore not included in the calculation of earnings per share.
To prepare the consolidated financial statements, the Group uses estimates and judgments which are updated on a regular basis and are based on past information and other factors, in particular assumptions of future events deemed reasonable in view of the circumstances.
Estimates that could lead to a significant adjustment in the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the subsequent period mainly concern the determination of the fair value of the Group's real estate assets and financial instruments. The fair value of the Group's real estate assets is measured on the basis of valuations Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on income attributable to holders of ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares existing during the period, adjusted to reflect the impact of potentially dilutive ordinary shares.
Assets and liabilities maturing within 12 months of the reporting date are classified as current assets and liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position. All other assets and liabilities are treated as non-current.
Expenses in the statement of comprehensive income are shown according to their nature.
In the statement of cash flows, net operating cash flows are calculated using the indirect method, whereby the net amount is based on net income adjusted for non-cash transactions, items of income or expense associated with investing or financing cash flows, and changes in working capital requirements.
carried out by an external real estate valuer using the methodology described in Note 2.4.
As these valuations are only estimates, there may be a significant difference between the amount obtained upon the sale of certain real estate assets and their estimated value, even when they are sold in the months following the end of the reporting period.
In this context, valuations of the Group's real estate assets by the external real estate valuers could vary significantly according to changes in the rate of return, based on observations of the rates prevailing in the real estate market.

These data are linked to the market and could therefore change significantly in the current climate. This could have a significant positive or negative impact on the fair value of the Group's real estate assets.

The Group's real estate portfolio is valued by external real estate valuers. The value of the portfolio depends on the ratio of supply to demand in the property market, a large number of substantially varying factors, and changes in the economic environment.
All of the Group's real estate assets are office buildings with a surface area of between 9,200 and 52,100 sq.m, located in Paris' inner suburbs. A fall in demand for this type of building could adversely affect the Group's earnings, business activities and financial position.
The current economic climate has sparked volatility in real estate prices and values. Consequently, the price obtained if the assets are disposed of in the short term may not be in line with the valuation.
Market rent levels for office premises and the value of office buildings are strongly influenced by the ratio of supply to demand in the property market. A situation where supply outweighs demand is likely to adversely affect the Group's earnings, business activities, assets and liabilities, and financial position.
Certain legal provisions applicable to commercial leases, such as public policy regulations governing lease terms and the indexing of rent, can restrict the capacity of property owners to increase rents. In the event of a change in the regulatory framework or the index used, the Group may be exposed to such risks.
Group procedures ensure that lease agreements are only entered into with lessees of suitable credit standing.
At December 31, 2022, the Group was dependent on eight lessees who collectively represented 61.56% of the total rental income collected in 2022.Although the Group's real estate assets could be – and are – leased to many different lessees, financial difficulties experienced by one of these lessees, a request for more favorable lease terms upon renewal, or a decision to terminate their lease, could adversely impact the Group's financial position, earnings and future performance.
Prudent liquidity risk management involves maintaining sufficient liquidity and short-term investment securities, being able to raise funds based on suitably adapted lines of credit and the ability to unwind market positions.
The Group's loans have been taken out with bank pools.
A description of the different credit facilities can be found in Note 4.7. At the most recent interest payment date, all of the Group's subsidiaries were compliant with their bank covenants at December 31, 2022.
At December 31, 2022, as presented in Note 5.11, the Group had EUR 825m in loans outstanding, of which EUR 144m due within one year. The Company does not currently have sufficient net working capital to honor those payments due within one year. This concerns the credit agreement entered into on December 5, 2018 with Propco SCI, for which the original due date was December 5, 2022. This has been extended to December 5, 2023. Negotiations with reputable credit institutions are underway and, thanks to its experience in this area, management is confident that they will be successful.
In 2021, the Vitura Group refinanced the loan in respect of the assets held by SAS Prothin. Since November 2021, the loan – which was initially taken out in 2012 and then extended in 2016 for an amount of EUR 525m – is subject to a variable interest rate (3-month Euribor with a floor of 0%), plus a margin of 1.65% if the following conditions are met:
Following the acquisition of Hanami Rueil SCI, the Vitura Group entered into a credit agreement for EUR 100m on December 15, 2016, for which the due date was extended to June 14, 2022. On the same date, theCompany refinanced its debt for a nominal amount of EUR 94m repayable at maturity on June 14, 2025 (optional two-year extension), subject to variable interest (3-month Euribor with a floor of0%) plus a margin of1.80% (1.65% if extended).
As part of the acquisition of Passy Kennedy, the Vitura Group entered into a credit agreement for EUR 148.5m on December 5, 2018. The agreement provides for a four-year loan with an optional one-year extension, 1% of the principal amount of which is repayable in the third year, 2.5% in the fourth year (and the fifth year if the agreement is extended), and the remainder at maturity. The Company exercised its option to extend the maturity date to December 5, 2023. The loan carries interest at 3-month Euribor plus a margin of 1.20%. Euribor is considered to be zero if the published rate is negative.
On October 19, 2021, the Vitura Group entered into a credit agreement for EUR 65.6m to finance the acquisition of the Office Kennedy building. The agreement provides for a seven-year loan, 3% of the initial amount of which is repayable as from the fifth anniversary of the date of signature of the agreement and the remainder at maturity. The loan carries interest at 3-month Euribor plus a margin of 2.35% (reduced to 1.70% post-stabilization of the asset). Euribor is considered to be zero if the published rate is negative.

The advisory and incentive fees are determined under the asset management agreement with Northwood Investors Asset Management SAS. The calculation terms have changed under the new agreement, effective January 1, 2022 for an initial term of six years expiring on January 1, 2028.
In particular, incentive fees are calculated based on changes in the Group's net asset value. Due to volatility in the financial markets and the decline in real estate values, at December 31, 2022 Vitura's management is not in a position to estimate the amount of any incentive fee that might be payable to Northwood Investors under the ASA in six years' time.
Other operating income and expenses comprise items that, due to their nature, are not included in the assessment of the Group's recurring operating performance. They mainly concern changes in the fair value of share subscription warrants, as described in Note 5.12.
Financial income and expenses can be broken down as follows:
In thousands of euros

| Financial expenses | (27,396) | (15,409) |
| Net financial income (expense) | 21,467 | (9,922) |
Financial expenses consist of interest expenses, costs relating to caps, and charges on bank borrowings.
Financial income consists mainly of positive fair value adjustments on caps.
All consolidated entities contributing to consolidated income fall under the SIIC tax regime for listed real estate investment companies or the SPPICAV tax regime for companies investing predominantly in real estate with a variable share capital, and are not liable for corporate income tax in respect of their property rental activities.
Earnings per share is calculated by dividing consolidated net income attributable to owners of Vitura by the weighted average numberofordinarysharesnetoftreasurysharesatDecember31,2022, i.e., a loss of EUR 0.25.
Pursuant to IAS 33, the potential shares (warrants) were considered to be dilutive atDecember 31, 2021.AtDecember 31, 2022, all share subscription warrants had expired (see Note 5.27). Diluted earnings per share represented a loss of EUR 0.25.

Transactions with related companies mainly comprise the asset management agreements entered into with Northwood Investors France Asset Management SAS.
Under the Advisory Services Agreement entered into by Northwood Investors France Asset Management SAS (the "Advisor") and Prothin, effective January 1, 2016 for an initial term of six years and amended on December 23, 2016 (the "Prothin ASA"), an incentive fee is paid to encourage the Advisor to create value for the shareholders ("Value Growth"). Value Growth is determined on the basis of growth in the Group's EPRA triple net NAV (NNNAV) over a period of three years, adjusted upwards for dividend distributions and downwards for capital increases made over that period. The incentive fee is equal to a maximum of 10% of Value Growth, provided that an annualized IRR of at least 6% is achieved (the "Initial Hurdle"). A catch-up clause divides the proportion of Value Growth in excess of the Initial Hurdle equally between the Advisor and Prothin until the point that the incentive fee reaches 10% of Value Growth. Beyond that hurdle, the total incentive fee is 10% of Value Growth.
On December 23, 2016, Northwood Investors France Asset Management SAS (the "Advisor") and Hanami Rueil SCI entered into an advisory services agreement, effective December 23, 2016 for an initial term of six years (the "Hanami Rueil SCI ASA"), along the same lines as the Prothin ASA.
On December 5, 2018, Northwood Investors France Asset Management SAS (the "Advisor") and CGR Propco SCI entered into an advisory services agreement, effective December 5, 2018 for an initial term of six years (the "CGR Propco SCI ASA"), along the same lines as the Prothin ASA.
The above-mentioned agreements expired in December 2021. On December 15, 2021, Northwood Investors France Asset Management SAS (the "Advisor") and Prothin, Hanami Rueil SCI, CGR Propco SCI and Office Kennedy SCI (the "Real Estate Subsidiaries") entered into a new advisory services agreement, effective January 1, 2022 for an initial term of six years expiring on January 1, 2028 (the "New ASA"), the key terms of which are summarized below.

Year ended December 31, 2022
To the Shareholders,
In compliance with the engagement entrusted to us by your General Shareholders' Meeting, we have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Vitura for the year ended December 31, 2022.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities and of the financial position of the Group at December 31, 2022 and of the results of its operations for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.
The audit opinion expressed above is consistent with our report to the Audit Committee.
We conducted our audit in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Our responsibilities under these standards are further described in the "Responsibilities of the Statutory Auditors relating to the audit of the consolidated financial statements" section of our report.
We conducted our audit in compliance with the independence rules provided for in the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce) and in the French Code of Ethics (Code de déontologie) for Statutory Auditors for the period from January 1, 2022 to the date of our report, and, in particular we did not provide any non-audit services prohibited by Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014.
In accordance with the requirements of Articles L.823-9 and R.823-7 of the French Commercial Code relating to the justification of our assessments, we inform you of the key audit matters relating to the risks of material misstatement that, in our professional judgment, were the most significant in our audit of the consolidated financial statements, as well as how we addressed those risks.
\
These matters were addressed as part of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and therefore contributed to the opinion we formed as expressed above. We do not provide a separate opinion on specific items of the consolidated financial statements.
At December 31, 2022, the value of the investment property held by the Group stood at EUR 1,506m.
As described in Note 2.3 to the consolidated financial statements, investment property is recognized at fair value in accordance with IAS 40 and changes in fair value are recorded in the income statement for the period. The fair value of investment property is measured excluding transfer duties by external real estate valuers at the end of each reporting period.
The fair value measurement of real estate assets requires significant judgment in determining the appropriate assumptions and estimates to apply, as detailed in Note 2.4 to the consolidated financial statements.
The main assumptions concern capitalization rates, estimated rental values, capital expenditure and recent comparable market transactions.
Consequently, given the material nature of this item in the consolidated financial statements, the significant level of judgment involved in determining the main assumptions used and the sensitivity of the properties' fair value to these assumptions, we considered the measurement of investment property to be a key audit matter.
Our audit work involved:
At December 31, 2022, Group bank borrowings due in less than one year stood at EUR 144.9m. This amount mainly relates to borrowings taken out by the CGR Propco SCI subsidiary with an initial maturity date at December 5, 2022. This has been extended to December 5, 2023.
As explained in Notes 4.1 and 4.6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Group does not currently have sufficient net working capital to honor this maturity date. The Group is currently negotiating with lenders and is confident it will achieve a favorable outcome. The consolidated financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis.
Given these factors, we considered liquidity risk to be a key audit matter.
Our audit work involved:
As required by legal and regulatory provisions and in accordance with professional standards applicable in France, we have also performed the specific verifications on the information pertaining to the Group presented in the Board of Directors' management report.
We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and its consistency with the consolidated financial statements.
We attest that the information pertaining to the Group presented in the Group management report includes the consolidated non-financial performance statement required under Article L.225-102-1 of the French Commercial Code. However, in accordance with Article L.823-10 of the French Commercial Code, we have not verified the fair presentation and consistency with the consolidated financial statements of the information given in that statement, which will be the subject of a report by an independent third party.
Presentation of the consolidated financial statements to be included in the annual financial report
In accordance with professional standards applicable to the Statutory Auditors' procedures for annual and consolidated financial statements presented according to the European single electronic reporting format, we have verified that the presentation of the consolidated financial statements to be included in the annual financial report referred to in paragraph I of Article L.451-1-2 of the French Monetary and Financial Code (Code monétaire et financier) and prepared under the Chief Executive Officer's responsibility, complies with this format, as defined by European Delegated Regulation No. 2019/815 of December 17, 2018. As it relates to the consolidated financial statements, our work included verifying that the markups in the financial statements comply with the format defined by the aforementioned Regulation.
On the basis of our work, we conclude that the presentation of the consolidated financial statements to be included in the annual financial report complies, in all material respects, with the European single electronic reporting format.
Due to the technical limitations inherent in the macro-tagging of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the European single electronic reporting format, the content of certain tags in the notes to the financial statements may not be rendered identically to the consolidated financial statements attached to this report.
In addition, it is not our responsibility to ensure that the consolidated financial statements to be included by the Company in the annual financial report filed with the AMF correspond to those on which we carried out our work.
We were appointed Statutory Auditors of Vitura SA by the Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meetings held on December 31, 2005 for KPMG and December 22, 2011 for Denjean & Associés.
At December 31, 2022, KPMG and Denjean & Associés were in the 18th and 12th consecutive year of their engagement since the securities of the Company were admitted to trading on a regulated market, respectively.
Management is responsible for preparing consolidated financial statements giving a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and for implementing the internal control procedures it deems necessary for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern, and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless it expects to liquidate the Company or to cease operations.
The Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring the financial reporting process and the effectiveness of internal control and risk management systems, as well as, where applicable, any internal audit systems, relating to accounting and financial reporting procedures.
The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors.
\
Our role is to issue a report on the consolidated financial statements. Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free of material misstatement. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions taken by users on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As specified in Article L.823-10-1 of the French Commercial Code, our audit does not include assurance on the viability or quality of the Company's management.
As part of an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France, the Statutory Auditors exercise professional judgment throughout the audit. They also:
We submit a report to the Audit Committee which includes, in particular, a description of the scope of the audit and the audit program implemented, as well as the results of our audit. We also report any significant deficiencies in internal control that we have identified regarding the accounting and financial reporting procedures.
Our report to the Audit Committee includes the risks of material misstatement that, in our professional judgment, were the most significant for the audit of the consolidated financial statements and which constitute the key audit matters that we are required to describe in this report.
We also provide the Audit Committee with the declaration provided for in Article 6 of Regulation (EU) No. 537-2014, confirming our independence within the meaning of the rules applicable in France, as defined in particular in Articles L.822-10 to L.822-14 of the French Commercial Code and in the French Code of Ethics for Statutory Auditors. Where appropriate, we discuss any risks to our independence and the related safeguard measures with the Audit Committee.

The fiscal year covers a 12-month period from January 1 to December 31, 2022.
The information presented in the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 includes comparative data in relation to the year ended December 31, 2021.
Global economic activity experienced a widespread slowdown with inflation reaching high levels compared to the last few decades. Rising raw material costs, tighter financial conditions in France and Russia's invasion of Ukraine are all weighing heavily on the economic outlook.
This complex economic context (rising interest rates and raw material prices as well as the slight increase in office vacancies in the Greater Paris area) has had an impact on the performance, valuation and liquidity of the real estate assets held by the Group's subsidiaries.
In accordance with the Chief Executive Officer's decisions of March 15, 2022, and pursuant to the delegation granted by the Board of Directors, Vitura issued 245,596 shares through the exercise of 245,351 share subscription warrants, resulting in a capital increase (additional including paid-in capital), of EUR 8,225,010 (nominal amount of EUR 933,264 and additional paid-in capital of EUR 7,291,745).
At the General Shareholders' Meeting of May 18, 2022, Vitura also decided to pay a dividend of EUR 21,359,635.
The annual financial statements forthe year endedDecember 31, 2022 were prepared in accordance with the rules and accounting methods set out in the legal and regulatory requirements applicable in France. They comply in particular with the provisions of Standard 2016-7 issued by the French accounting standard-setter (ANC) on November 4, 2016, amending Standard 2014-3 relating to the French general chart of accounts, which was approved by the government order of December 26, 2016.
Accounting policies were applied in accordance with the principle of prudence and the following basic assumptions:
The basic method used for valuing items recorded in the accounts is the historical cost method.
The main accounting principles applied for the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 are described below.
Long-term investments correspond to shareholdings that are deemed useful to hold over the long term, particularly insofar as they enable the Company to exercise influence or control over the issuer.
Investments are recognized in the balance sheet at their acquisition cost or contribution value.
Share purchase fees are not included in their acquisition cost but recorded in expenses for the period.
At the end of the year, the Company compares the realizable value of shareholdings with their acquisition cost. The realizable value of shareholdings corresponds to their value in use, representing the price the Company would be willing to pay should it wish to acquire this shareholding.
In order to measure shareholdings, the Company uses a method based on the valuation of the subsidiaries' assets.
The Company calculates the net asset value of each subsidiary. This method takes into account the valuation of the real estate assets held by the subsidiary at the end of the reporting period.
Unrealized gains and losses are calculated by comparing the value in use with the carrying amount. Impairment losses are recognized in respect of unrealized losses and are not offset against unrealized gains.
However, the Company takes into account the outlook for (temporarily or structurally loss-making) subsidiaries in order to ensure that the write-downs are justified.
Treasury shares held within the scope of the liquidity agreement are stated at cost in assets under "Other long-term investments".
Cash amounts allocated to the liquidity agreement are stated in "Other long-term investments" as they are no longer available for the immediate needs of the Company.
Movements in the treasury share portfolio are recorded on a first in, first out basis.
A provision for impairment is set aside when the acquisition value of the shares is more than the average stock market price in the month preceding the end of the reporting period.
Gains and losses realized on the sale of treasury shares and interest on the cash amounts allocated to the liquidity agreement are recognized in "Net non-recurring income (expense)".
Receivables are measured at nominal value. A provision for impairment is set aside when the realizable value falls below the carrying amount.
\
Transaction costs related to capital increases are recognized in expenses for the year.
At December 31, 2022, risks for Vitura related to the shareholdings held in its subsidiaries, Prothin SAS, K Rueil OPCI, Hanami Rueil SCI, CGR Holdco EURL, CGR Propco SCI and Office Kennedy SCI.
There was no change in accounting policies in 2022 compared to 2021.
Changes in the gross value of non-current financial assets can be broken down as follows:

Election for tax treatment as a SIIC
Vitura SA has elected for the preferential tax treatment granted to listed real estate investment companies (SIICs) in accordance with Article 208 C of the French Tax Code (Code général des impôts).
Owing to this tax treatment, no corporate income tax is payable directly or indirectly through income from subsidiaries in respect of the real estate leasing business. Similarly, no tax was payable on capital gains generated on the sale of buildings, shareholdings in subsidiaries eligible for the same tax treatment, or shareholdings in partnerships.
No income tax expense was recognized in 2022.
Terms and conditions and impact of tax treatment as a SIIC
When a company elects for SIIC status, the ensuing change in tax treatment has a similar impact to that of a discontinuance of business (taxation of unrealized capital gains, income which is subject to tax deferral and as yet untaxed operating income).
SIICs that have elected for preferential treatment are exempt from paying corporate income tax on the portion of their income resulting from:
▪ the lease of buildings, provided that 95% of this income is distributed before the end of the fiscal year following the year in which the income is generated;
In the event that they choose to leave the SIIC tax regime at any time, the SIICs and their subsidiaries must add back to their taxable earnings for the period the portion of their income available for distribution at the end of said period which results from previously tax-exempt amounts.
\
Article 208 C II ter of the French Tax Code also introduces a 20% withholding tax to be paid by SIICs on dividends distributed from tax-exempt income to shareholders, other than natural persons, that hold at least 10% of dividend entitlements in said SIICs and that are not liable for corporate income tax or another equivalent tax on the dividends received. However, the withholding tax is not due when the beneficiary of the dividends is a company required to distribute the full amount of the dividends it receives and whose shareholders that directly or indirectly hold at least 10% of the dividend rights are liable for corporate income tax or another equivalent tax on the dividends received.

Year ended December 31, 2022
To the Shareholders,
In compliance with the engagement entrusted to us by your General Shareholders' Meeting, we have audited the accompanying financial statements of Vitura for the year ended December 31, 2022.
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities and of the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2022 and of the results of its operations for the year then ended in accordance with French accounting principles.
The audit opinion expressed above is consistent with our report to the Audit Committee.
We conducted our audit in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Our responsibilities under these standards are further described in the "Responsibilities of the Statutory Auditors relating to the audit of the financial statements" section of our report.
We conducted our audit in compliance with the independence rules provided for in the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce) and in the French Code of Ethics (Code de déontologie) for Statutory Auditors for the period from January 1, 2022 to the date of our report, and, in particular we did not provide any non-audit services prohibited by Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014.
In accordance with the requirements of Articles L.823-9 and R.823-7 of the French Commercial Code relating to the justification of our assessments, we inform you of the key audit matters relating to the risks of material misstatement that, in our professional judgment, were the most significant in our audit of the financial statements, as well as how we addressed those risks.
These matters were addressed as part of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and therefore contributed to the opinion we formed as expressed above. We do not provide a separate opinion on specific items of the financial statements.
At December 31, 2022, equity investments and related receivables stood at EUR 194,449k in the balance sheet.
As described in Note 2.1 "Long-term investments" to the financial statements, equity investments are recognized at acquisition cost or contribution value and impaired based on their value in use, if the latter is lower than the former.
The value in use of equity investments is determined based on several factors, such as the net asset value of the entities concerned (as calculated by external real estate valuers), their profitability, future prospects and usefulness for the Company.
We deemed the measurement of equity investments and related receivables to be a key audit matter due to its sensitivity to the assumptions used and in light of the material amount represented by equity investments in the financial statements.
We performed the following procedures:
Our work also consisted in assessing the appropriateness of the disclosures provided in Note 2.1 to the financial statements.
In accordance with professional standards applicable in France, we have also performed the specific verifications required by French legal and regulatory provisions.
We have no matters to report as to the fair presentation and the consistency with the financial statements of the information given in the Board of Directors' management report and in the other documents provided to the shareholders with respect to the Company's financial position and the financial statements.
We attest to the fair presentation and the consistency with the financial statements of the information about the payment terms referred to in Article D.441-6 of the French Commercial Code.
We attest that the Board of Directors' report on corporate governance sets out the information required by Articles L.225-37-4, L.22-10-10 and L.22-10-9 of the French Commercial Code.
Concerning the information given in accordance with the requirements of Article L.22-10-9 of the French Commercial Code relating to compensation and benefits paid or awarded to corporate officers and any other commitments made in their favor, we have verified its consistency with the financial statements or with the underlying information used to prepare these financial statements, and, where applicable, with the information obtained by your Company from controlled companies within its scope of consolidation. Based on this work, we attest to the accuracy and fair presentation of this information.
Concerning the information given in accordance with the requirements of Article L.22-10-11 of the French Commercial Code relating to those items the Company has deemed liable to have an impact in the event of a takeover bid or exchange offer, we have verified its consistency with the underlying documents that were disclosed to us. Based on this work, we have no matters to report with regard to this information.
In accordance with French law, we have verified that the required information concerning the identity of shareholders and holders of the voting rights has been properly disclosed in the management report.
In accordance with professional standards applicable to the Statutory Auditors' procedures for annual and consolidated financial statements presented according to the European single electronic reporting format, we have verified that the presentation of the financial statements to be included in the annual financial report referred to in paragraph I of Article L.451-1-2 of the French Monetary and Financial Code (Code monétaire et financier) and prepared under the Chief Executive Officer's responsibility, complies with this format, as defined by European Delegated Regulation No. 2019/815 of December 17, 2018.
On the basis of our work, we conclude that the presentation of the financial statements to be included in the annual financial report complies, in all material respects, with the European single electronic reporting format.
It is not our responsibility to ensure that the financial statements to be included by the Company in the annual financial report filed with the AMF correspond to those on which we carried out our work.
We were appointed Statutory Auditors of Vitura by the Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meetings held on December 31, 2005 for KPMG and December 22, 2011 for Denjean & Associés.
At December 31, 2022, KPMG and Denjean & Associés were in the 18th and 12th consecutive year of their engagement since the securities of the Company were admitted to trading on a regulated market, respectively.
Management is responsible for preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view in accordance with French accounting principles, and for implementing the internal control procedures it deems necessary for the preparation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern, and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless it expects to liquidate the Company or to cease operations.
The Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring the financial reporting process and the effectiveness of internal control and risk management systems, as well as, where applicable, any internal audit systems, relating to accounting and financial reporting procedures.
The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors.
Our role is to issue a report on the financial statements. Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free of material misstatement. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions taken by users on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As specified in Article L.823-10-1 of the French Commercial Code, our audit does not include assurance on the viability or quality of the Company's management.
As part of an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France, the Statutory Auditors exercise professional judgment throughout the audit. They also:
▪ identify and assess the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures in response to those risks, and obtain audit evidence considered to be sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for their opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;
We submit a report to the Audit Committee which includes, in particular, a description of the scope of the audit and the audit program implemented, as well as the results of our audit. We also report any significant deficiencies in internal control that we have identified regarding the accounting and financial reporting procedures.
Our report to the Audit Committee includes the risks of material misstatement that, in our professional judgment, were the most significant for the audit of the financial statements and which constitute the key audit matters that we are required to describe in this report.
\
We also provide the Audit Committee with the declaration provided for in Article 6 of Regulation (EU) No. 537-2014, confirming our independence within the meaning of the rules applicable in France, as defined in particular in Articles L.822-10 to L.822-14 of the French Commercial Code and in the French Code of Ethics for Statutory Auditors. Where appropriate, we discuss any risks to our independence and the related safeguard measures with the Audit Committee.

The Board of Directors has convened an Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting on May 10, 2023 to report on the Company's and Group's activity in the course of the year that began on January 1, 2022 and ended on December 31, 2022, and to submit that year's annual and consolidated financial statements to the shareholders for approval. The shareholders have also been convened in particular to decide on the items of the agenda indicated in section VI.2.
The purpose of Vitura's General Shareholders' Meeting will be to approve the resolutions whose purpose is specified and commented upon below.
The full texts of the proposed resolutions to be submitted to Vitura's General Shareholders' Meeting are included in section VI.2.
The first two resolutions submit the previous year's annual and consolidated financial statements, showing net income of EUR 7,998,061.92 and a net attributable loss of EUR 4,183,403.57, respectively, to the shareholders for approval.
The third resolution proposes to appropriate net income for the year as follows:
Source:
Following appropriation, retained earnings will be reduced from EUR 37,818.59 to EUR 0.
For individual shareholders who are French tax residents, dividends are usually subject to a withholding tax at a flat rate of 30% (comprising social security contributions at a flat rate of 17.2% and a mandatory withholding tax at a rate of 12.8%). On final taxation, dividends are subject to income tax (after deduction of the mandatory withholding tax) at a flat rate of 12.8% (prélèvement forfaitaire unique – PFU) or at the progressive rate, where the taxpayer opts for the irrevocable application of the progressive rate to all of his/her income falling within the scope of the PFU. If the taxpayer opts for the progressive tax rate, the dividend will not be eligible for the 40% allowance provided for in Article 158, 3-2° of the French Tax Code (Code général des impôts) since it has not been deducted from the Company's taxable income.
The fourth resolution refers to related party agreements that were entered into during the last fiscal year and disclosed in the Statutory Auditors' special report, in order to acknowledge that no new agreements were entered into during the year.
The General Shareholders' Meeting must vote on a resolution on the corporate officer compensation policy. This is the objective of the fifth resolution.
The Board of Directors' report on corporate governance details the corporate officer compensation policy in accordance with Article L.22-10-8 II of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce).
As required by law, the compensation policy must be proposed in a resolution submitted to the General Shareholders' Meeting for approval every year and whenever any change is made to it.
In the event of a negative vote:
The General Shareholders' Meeting must vote on an umbrella resolution concerning the overall compensation paid or awarded to corporate officers during the year, as well as individual resolutions relating to the compensation paid or awarded to each executive corporate officerforthe last fiscal year.
This information is presented in the Board of Directors' report on corporate governance. This is the objective of the sixth resolution.
We also invite you to duly note that the Company neither paid nor awarded any individual compensation or benefits of any kind whatsoever to the Chairman of the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer for the year ended December 31, 2022.
In the seventh resolution, the shareholders are invited to ratify the cooptation of Erin Cannata as director, as decided by the Board of Directors at its meeting of March 7, 2023, to replace outgoing director Jérôme Anselme for the remainder of his term, i.e., until the close of the General Shareholders' Meeting to be held to approve the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2024. Jérôme Anselme will continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer.
Erin Cannata is a Managing Director at Northwood Investors and is responsible for evaluating real estate equity and debt investment opportunities in the US. Erin spent 6 years for Northwood based in London and was involved in over \$4 billion of transactions of real estate acquisitions, disposals and financings across all property types in Europe for Northwood. Prior to joining Northwood Investors, Ms. Cannata worked in the Real Estate Gaming & Lodging Investment Banking group at Bank of America Merrill Lynch in New York where she focused on corporate advisory assignments and capital markets transactions for the firm's real estate, lodging, and gaming clients. Ms. Cannata received a double major B.S. in Finance and Accounting, summa cum laude, from the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University.
The eighth and ninth resolutions concern the terms of office of the principal Statutory Auditors. The terms of office of Statutory Auditors KPMG Audit FS I and Denjean & Associés are due to expire.
On expiration, Sandie Tzinmann, partner at KPMG Audit FS I, will have served as signing partner for the audit of the annual financial statements for two consecutive fiscal years.
On expiration, Céline Kien, partner at Denjean & Associés, will have served as signing partner for the audit of the annual financial statements for six consecutive fiscal years.
We propose to reappoint KPMG Audit FS I and Denjean & Associés as Statutory Auditors for a term of six years expiring at the close of the General Shareholders' Meeting to be held in 2029 to approve the annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2028. The candidates have not provided any audit services relating to any mergers or contributions involving the Company and the companies it controls within the meaning of Article L.233-16 of the French Commercial Code during the past two years.
The tenth resolution authorizes the Company to repurchase its own shares within the limits set by the shareholders in compliance with the law. It authorizes such repurchases to be made within the limit of 10% of the share capital and for a maximum price of EUR 50 per share.
We propose the renewal of this authorization for a further period of 18 months and therefore, in compliance with Article L.22-10-62 of the French Commercial Code, to authorize the Board to purchase, on one or several occasions and at such time as it deems appropriate, Company shares within the limit of 10% of the number of shares composing the share capital, where applicable adjusted to include any increases or decreases in capital that may have been implemented during the buyback program.
This authorization would terminate the authorization granted to the Board of Directors by the May 18, 2022 Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, which expires on November 18, 2023.
The buybacks may be carried out for any purposes permitted by law, in particular:
The shares may be purchased by any means, including by purchases of blocks of shares, and at such time as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.
The Company reserves the right to use optional mechanisms or derivative instruments in accordance with the applicable regulations.
The maximum purchase price is set at EUR 50 per share. In the event of a transaction involving the share capital, particularly a share split, a reverse share split or free share grants, the aforementioned amount will be adjusted in the same proportions (by a coefficient equal to the ratio of the number of shares composing the share capital before the transaction and the number of shares after the transaction).
The eleventh resolution authorizes the Company to cancel the shares bought back for this purpose under the share buyback program, within the limit of 10% of the share capital over a 24-month period.
The twelfth resolution grants authority to the Board of Directors to capitalize all or part of reserves, profits and additional paid-in capital by raising the par value or granting ordinary free shares. This authority would terminate the authority granted to the Board of Directors by the May 12, 2021 General Shareholders' Meeting in its fifteenth resolution, which expires on July 12, 2023.
Consequently, we propose to renew the authority and grant the Board of Directors, for a further 26 months, the authority to increase the capital by capitalizing reserves, profits, additional paid-in capital or other amounts that may be capitalized, by issuing and granting free shares, raising the par value of existing ordinary shares, or a combination of these two methods. The amount of the capital increase resulting from issues carried out under this delegation of authority may not exceed a nominal amount of EUR 300,000,000. This amount does not include the total nominal value of additional ordinary shares that may be issued to maintain the rights of holders of securities granting access to shares, in accordance with legal provisions. This amount is independent from any other limits provided for in the other delegations of authority at this General Shareholders' Meeting.
The thirteenth to fifteenth resolutions refer to the delegations of financial authority granted to the Board of Directors to issue, at any time, ordinary shares, granting access to other ordinary shares or debt securities and/or ordinary shares or securities granting access to ordinary shares to be issued by the Company, with or without preemptive subscription rights for existing shareholders, according to the Company's needs and given the characteristics of the markets at the time under consideration.
The General Shareholders' Meeting of May 12, 2021 granted such delegations of financial authority to the Board of Directors. Given that the abovementioned delegations of authority are due to expire on July 12, 2023, the shareholders are invited to renew them for a period of 26 months in order to allow the Board of Directors to carry out such operations.
In the event of a transaction involving the share capital, the Board of Directors favors maintaining preemptive subscription rights for existing shareholders. However, some circumstances or opportunities may require the cancelation of these rights as part of a public offer or private placement for qualified investors or a limited pool of investors. In addition, it is in the Company's best interests to reserve the right to issue securities in a public exchange offer for the securities of another company. Similarly, the Company must be able to issue ordinary shares or securities granting access to ordinary shares as consideration for the acquisitions.
Issues carried out with preemptive subscription rights (thirteenth resolution) may reach a maximum nominal amount of EUR 300,000,000.
Issues carried out without preemptive subscription rights (fourteenth and fifteenth resolutions) by means of a public offer excluding offers as defined in paragraph 1 of Article L.411-2 of the French Monetary and Financial Code (Code monétaire et financier) or an offer as defined in paragraph 1 of Article L.411-2 of the French Monetary and Financial Code may represent a maximum nominal amount of EUR 300,000,000, it being specified that said maximum amount covers both resolutions, and is limited to 20% of the share capital per year in the case of issues by means of an offer as defined in paragraph 1 of Article L.411-2 of the French Monetary and Financial Code.
The fourteenth resolution relating to issues without preemptive subscription rights by means of a public offer also provides that the Board may grant existing shareholders a priority period to subscribe to the shares issued.
The aggregate nominal amount of debt securities that may be issued pursuant to each of the delegations of authority may not exceed EUR 300,000,000, or the equivalent in another currency, insofar as the aggregate limit also covers delegations of authority for issues without preemptive subscription rights by means of a public offer excluding offers as defined in paragraph 1 of Article L.411-2 of the French Monetary and Financial Code or an offer as defined in paragraph 1 of Article L.411-2 of the French Monetary and Financial Code.
In the sixteenth and seventeenth resolutions, the shareholders are invited to grant authorizations to the Board of Directors to (i) set the issue price, within the limit of 10% of the Company's share capital per year, for share capital increases without preemptive subscription rights, and (ii) increase the amount of shares issued with or without preemptive subscription rights in the event of oversubscription.
Issues in consideration of contributions of equity securities or securities granting access to the share capital (eighteenth resolution) would be capped at 10% of the share capital at the date of the General Shareholders' Meeting.
In order for the abovementioned resolutions to be included on the agenda, a resolution concerning a capital increase for members of an employee savings plan must be submitted to the General Shareholders' Meeting (eighteenth resolution).
The proposed resolutions relating to delegations of financial authority are detailed below.
► Thirteenth resolution: Delegation of authority to the Board of Directors to issue ordinary shares and/or equity securities granting access to other equity securities or granting entitlement to debt securities and/or securities granting access to equity securities to be issued, with preemptive subscription rights
We propose to set the maximum total nominal amount of shares authorized for issue pursuant to this delegation of authority at EUR 300,000,000. This amount is independent from any other limits provided for in the delegations of authority without preemptive subscription rights and does not include the total nominal value of additional ordinary shares that may be issued to maintain the rights of holders of securities granting access to the share capital, in accordance with legal provisions.
The nominal amount of Company debt securities authorized for issue pursuant to this delegation of authority may not exceed EUR 300,000,000.
Under this delegation of authority, the ordinary shares and/or any securities granting access to the share capital are issued with preemptive subscription rights for existing shareholders. If the issue is undersubscribed, the Board of Directors has the following options:
Under this delegation of authority, the issues are carried out by means of a public offer excluding offers as defined in paragraph 1 of Article L.411-2 of the French Monetary and Financial Code. Preemptive subscription rights for existing shareholders to ordinary shares and/or securities granting access to the share capital are canceled, but the Board of Directors may grant existing shareholders a priority subscription right.
The total nominal amount of shares authorized for issue pursuant to this delegation of authority may not exceed EUR 300,000,000. This amount is deducted from the maximum nominal amount of shares authorized for issue under the authority to increase the share capital without preemptive subscription rights by means of an offer as defined in paragraph 1 of Article L.411-2 of the French Monetary and Financial Code.
The nominal amount of Company debt securities authorized for issue may not exceed EUR 300,000,000. This amount is deducted from the maximum nominal amount of debt securities authorized for issue under the authority to increase the share capital without preemptive subscription rights by means of an offer as defined in paragraph 1 of Article L.411-2 of the French Monetary and Financial Code.
\
The amount paid or owed to the Company for each ordinary share issued, after taking into account the subscription price of any share subscription warrants issued, is determined in accordance with the legal and regulatory provisions and is at least equal to the minimum required in application of Article R.22-10-32 of the French Commercial Code when the Board of Directors implements the delegation of authority.
In the event of an issue of securities tendered to remunerate securities contributed in a public exchange offer, the Board of Directors is granted the necessary powers, within the abovementioned limits, to define the list of securities tendered in the exchange, the terms of issue, the exchange ratio, the balance to be settled in cash, where applicable, and the issue procedures.
If the issue of ordinary shares or securities granting access to the share capital is undersubscribed, the Board of Directors has the following options:
Under this delegation of authority, the issues are carried out as an offer, as defined in paragraph 1 of Article L.411-2 of the French Monetary and Financial Code. Preemptive subscription rights for existing shareholders to ordinary shares and/or securities granting access to the share capital are canceled.
The total nominal amount of shares authorized for issue may not exceed EUR 300,000,000 and is limited to 20% of the share capital per year. This amount is deducted from the maximum nominal amount of shares authorized for issue under the authority to increase the share capital without preemptive subscription rights by means of a public offer excluding offers as defined in paragraph 1 of Article L.411-2 of the French Monetary and Financial Code.
The nominal amount of Company debt securities authorized for issue may not exceed EUR 300,000,000. This amount is deducted from the maximum nominal amount of debt securities authorized for issue under the authority to increase the share capital without preemptive subscription rights by means of a public offer excluding offers as defined in paragraph 1 of Article L.411-2 of the French Monetary and Financial Code.
The amount paid or owed to the Company for each ordinary share issued, after taking into account the subscription price of any share subscription warrants issued, is determined in accordance with the legal and regulatory provisions and is at least equal to the minimum required in application of Article R.22-10-32 of the French Commercial Code when the Board of Directors implements the delegation of authority.
► Sixteenth resolution: Authorization, in the event of the cancelation of preemptive subscription rights, to set the issue price, within the limit of 10% of the share capital per year and according to the conditions determined by the General Shareholders' Meeting
In compliance with Article L.22-10-52 of the French Commercial Code, we propose to authorize the Board of Directors' meeting, which decides on the issuance of ordinary shares or securities granting access to the share capital without preemptive subscription rights by means of a public offer excluding offers as defined in paragraph 1 of Article L.411-2 of the French Monetary and Financial Code or by means of an offer as defined in paragraph 1 of Article L.411-2 of the French Monetary and Financial Code (private placement), to waive the terms and conditions for setting the subscription price indicated above, within the limit of 10% of the share capital per year, and to set the issue price of the equity securities to be issued in accordance with the following terms and conditions:
We propose, in connection with the abovementioned delegations of authority with or without preemptive subscription rights, to grant the Board of Directors the option of increasing, in accordance with the terms and limits set by the legal and regulatory provisions, the number of securities planned for the initial issue.
► Eighteenth resolution: Delegation of authority to the Board of Directors to issue ordinary shares and/or securities granting access to the share capital, within the limit of 10%, in consideration of contributions of securities granting access to capital
This authority would terminate the authority granted to the Board of Directors by the May 12, 2021 General Shareholders' Meeting, which expires on July 12, 2023.
In order to facilitate acquisitions, we propose to renew this delegation of authority and grant the Board of Directors the authority to increase the share capital by issuing ordinary shares or securities granting access to the share capital in consideration of any contributions to the Company of shares or securities granting access to capital.
This delegation of authority would be granted for 26 months.
The total nominal amount of ordinary shares authorized for issue pursuant to this delegation of authority may not exceed 10% of the share capital. This amount is independent from any other limits provided for in the other delegations of authority to increase the share capital.
► Nineteenth resolution: Delegation of authority to the Board of Directors to increase the share capital by issuing shares and/or securities granting access to the share capital, without preemptive subscription rights, in favor of members of a company savings plan in accordance with Articles L.3332-8 et seq. of the French Labor Code
This resolution has been submitted in order to comply with Article L.225-129-6 of the French Commercial Code, under the terms of which the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting is also asked to vote on a resolution referring to capital increases in application of Articles L.3332-18 et seq. of the French Labor Code (Code du travail) when it delegates its authority to carry out capital increases in cash.
Under this delegation of authority, the shareholders are asked to authorize the Board of Directors to increase the share capital in favor of members of a company savings plan, in accordance with Articles L.3332-18 et seq. of the French Labor Code, by issuing ordinary cash shares and, where applicable, by granting free ordinary shares or other securities granting access to the share capital. In compliance with the law, the General Shareholders' Meeting would cancel shareholders' preemptive subscription rights.
The maximum nominal amount of the increase(s) in share capital that could be carried out by means of this delegation of authority is EUR 780,000.
In compliance with Article L.3332-19 of the French Labor Code, the price of the shares to be issued may not be over 30% (or 40% if the lock-up period provided for by the plan pursuant to Articles L.3332-25 and L.3332-26 of the French Labor Code is ten years or more) lower than the average of the opening price of the share during the 20 trading days prior to the Board of Directors' decision to increase the share capital and issue the corresponding shares; nor may it be higher than said average.
The Board of Directors is granted, within the limits set above, full powers, notably to set the terms and conditions of the issue(s), where applicable, record the completion of the resulting capital increase(s), amend the bylaws accordingly, charge, at its sole discretion, the costs of the capital increase(s) to paid-in capital relating thereto, deduct from this charge the amount required to increase the legal reserve to one-tenth of the new share capital following each increase, and carry out any other necessary steps.
Obviously, the completion of such a reserved capital increase remains subject to the Company having a company savings plan. Such a capital increase is not in line with the compensation policy currently pursued by the Company and does not correspond to the strategy proposed by the Board.
Consequently, the Board requests that shareholders purely and simply reject this resolution and vote against the proposed increase in share capital that will be submitted to them only to satisfy legal provisions. As a reminder, an identical delegation of authority was submitted to the General Shareholders' Meeting held on May 12, 2021 and rejected. The text of the nineteenth resolution is included in section VI.2 below.
\
In the twentieth resolution, the shareholders are invited to give full powers to the Board of Directors to harmonize the bylaws with the applicable legal and regulatory provisions, subject to ratification of those amendments at the next Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting.
The twenty-first resolution concerns the amendment of Article 19 of the bylaws to allow the Board of Directors to appoint non-voting directors in place of the Annual General Shareholders' Meeting, and to determine their term of office, which may not exceed one year.
Financial Code and/or in consideration for securities as part of a public exchange offer, period of validity of the delegation, maximum nominal amount of the increase in share capital, issue price, option of limiting the issue to the amount subscribed or of distributing unsubscribed securities.

Having reviewed the Board of Directors' and Statutory Auditors' reports for the year ended December 31, 2022, the General Shareholders' Meeting approves the financial statements for 2022 as presented, i.e., showing net income of EUR 7,998,061.92.

Following appropriation, retained earnings will be reduced from EUR 37,818.59 to EUR 0.
The ex-distribution date is May 23, 2023. The payment will take place on May 25, 2023.
For individual shareholders who are French tax residents, dividends are usually subject to a withholding tax at a flat rate of 30% (comprising social security contributions at a flat rate of 17.2% and a mandatory withholding tax at a rate of 12.8%). On final taxation, dividends are subject to income tax (after deduction of the mandatory withholding tax) at a flat rate of 12.8% (prélèvement forfaitaire unique – PFU) or at the progressive rate, where the taxpayer opts for the irrevocable application of the progressive rate to all of his/her income falling within the scope of the PFU. If the taxpayer opts for the progressive tax rate, the dividend will not be eligible for the 40% allowance provided for in Article 158, 3-2° of the French Tax Code (Code général des impôts) since it has not been deducted from the Company's taxable income.
If the Company holds any treasury shares on the dividend distribution date, the distributable income corresponding to the dividend not paid in respect of those shares will be allocated to retained earnings.
In compliance with the provisions of Article 243 bis of the French Tax Code, the General Shareholders' Meeting acknowledges that it has been informed that, in the last three fiscal years, the following dividends were distributed:

Having reviewed the Statutory Auditors' special report mentioning the absence of any new agreements of the type referred to in Articles L.225-38 et seq. of the French Commercial Code, the General Shareholders' Meeting simply places this fact on record.
Having reviewed the Board of Directors' report on corporate governance prepared in compliance with Article L.22-10-8 II of the French Commercial Code, the General Shareholders' Meeting approves the corporate officer compensation policy, as described in this report and referred to in section VI.4.3 of the 2022 Universal Registration Document.

Having reviewed the Board of Directors' report, the General Shareholders' Meeting authorizes the Board, for a period of 18 months, in compliance with the provisions of Articles L.22-10-62 et seq. of the French Commercial Code, to purchase, on one or several occasions and at such time as it deems appropriate, Company shares within the limit of 10% of the number of shares composing the share capital, where applicable adjusted to include any increases or decreases in capital that may have been implemented during the duration of the buyback program.
This authorization terminates the authorization granted to the Board of Directors by the May 18, 2022 General Shareholders' Meeting in its ninth resolution (ordinary), which expires on November 18, 2023.
The buybacks may be carried out for any purposes permitted by law, in particular:
Having reviewed the Board of Directors' report and the Statutory Auditors' special report, the General Shareholders' Meeting:
▪ to keep the shares purchased and subsequently tender them in exchange or as consideration for an acquisition. The shares acquired for this purpose may not exceed 5% of the Company's share capital.
\
The shares may be purchased by any means, including by purchases of blocks of shares, and at such time as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.
The Company reserves the right to use optional mechanisms or derivative instruments in accordance with the applicable regulations.
The maximum purchase price is set at EUR 50 per share. In the event of a transaction involving the share capital, particularly a share split, a reverse share split or free share grants, the aforementioned amount will be adjusted in the same proportions (by a coefficient equal to the ratio of the number of shares composing the share capital before the transaction and the number of shares after the transaction).
The maximum amount of the program is thus set at EUR 85,438,500.
The General Shareholders' Meeting grants full powers, which may be sub-delegated, to the Board of Directors to carry out such operations, set the terms and conditions, enter into all agreements and perform any and all formalities.

Having reviewed the Board of Directors' report, the General Shareholders' Meeting decides to amend Article 19 of the bylaws to allow the appointment of non-voting directors by the Board of Directors and to allow the Board to determine their term of office as follows:
The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting The Board of Directors may appoint one or more persons, who may or may not be chosen from among the shareholders, to act as non-voting directors. The assignment of the non-voting directors is to issue opinions and suggestions to the Company's committees and to assist the Board of Directors in determining corporate strategy.
The non-voting directors may be chosen from among the Committee members.
The non-voting directors shall be appointed for a term of three years. Their term of office shall expire at the close of the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the third fiscal year that follows the year during which they were appointed.
Non-voting directors can be reappointed. Each non-voting director can be removed from office at any time by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting Board of Directors.
If a non-voting director ceases or is unable to perform their duties, the Board of Directors may co-opt a new non-voting director. Shareholders will be asked to approve the appointment at the next Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting.
The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting The Board of Directors may decide to grant compensation to each non-voting director which will be deducted from the total annual directors' compensation for all Board members.
The non-voting directors shall have access to the same information as that made available to the members of the Board of Directors. The non-voting directors may be invited to attend any meeting of the Board of Directors. They are not allowed to vote at Board meetings, however."

In our capacity as Statutory Auditors of Vitura and in compliance with the provisions of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce), we hereby report to you on the transactions submitted for your approval.
In compliance with the provisions of Article L.22-10-62 of the French Commercial Code applicable in the event of a capital reduction by canceling repurchased shares, we hereby report to you on our assessment of the reasons for and conditions of the planned capital reduction.
The Board of Directors is seeking a 24-month authorization from the date of this General Shareholders' Meeting, to cancel, within the limit of 10% of the share capital calculated on the date of the cancelation decision per 24-month period, the shares bought back by Vitura pursuant to an authorization to buy back its own shares in accordance with the provisions of the aforementioned article.
We performed the procedures that we deemed necessary in accordance with professional standards applicable in France to such engagements. Those procedures consisted in ensuring that the reasons for and conditions of the planned share capital reduction, which cannot undermine shareholder equality in any way, comply with the applicable legal provisions.
We have no matters to report on the reasons for and conditions of the planned capital reduction.
In compliance with the provisions of Articles L.228-92 and L.225-135 et seq. and Article L.22-10-52 of the French Commercial Code, we hereby report to you on the proposed delegations of authority to the Board of Directors for the issuance of shares and/or securities, which are submitted for your approval.
On the basis of its report, the Board of Directors proposes that the shareholders:
▪ delegate to the Board of Directors, for a period of twenty-six (26) months, the authority to decide to carry out the following transactions and set the final terms and conditions of the related issues and, if necessary, to cancel the shareholders' preemptive subscription rights:
◦ to issue, on one or several occasions in euros or foreign currencies, ordinary shares and/or equity securities granting access to other equity securities or granting entitlement to debt securities and/or securities granting access to equity securities to be issued, with preemptive subscription rights (thirteenth resolution):
\
The total nominal amount of shares authorized for issue, immediately or in the future, under the thirteenth, fourteenth or fifteenth resolutions, or cumulatively under the fourteenth and fifteenth resolutions, may not exceed EUR 300,000,000. The total nominal amount of debt securities authorized for issue under the thirteenth, fourteenth or fifteenth resolutions, or cumulatively under the fourteenth and fifteenth resolutions, may not exceed EUR 300,000,000.
These maximum limits take into account the additional securities to be issued in application of the delegations of authority referred to in the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth resolutions, in accordance with Article L.225-135-1 of the French Commercial Code, in the event that the shareholders adopt the seventeenth resolution.
It is the Board of Directors' responsibility to prepare a report in accordance with Articles R.225-113 et seq. of the French Commercial Code. It is our responsibility to express an opinion on the fairness of the financial information taken from the financial statements, the proposed cancelation of shareholders' preemptive subscription rights and on certain other information relating to the transactions contained in this report.

Those procedures require that we examine the content of the Board of Directors' report concerning these transactions and the terms and conditions for determining the issue price of the new shares.
Subject to a subsequent examination of the conditions of the issues once they have been decided, we have no matters to report on the information provided in the Board of Directors' report relating to the methods used to set the issue price of equity securities to be issued under the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth resolutions.
Moreover, since this report does not provide for the terms and conditions used to set the issue price of the shares to be issued under the thirteenth and eighteenth resolutions, we cannot give our opinion on the method and basis used to calculate the issue price.
Since the final terms and conditions of the issues have not been set, we do not express an opinion in this respect, or, consequently, on the cancelation of shareholders' preemptive subscription rights, as proposed in the fourteenth and fifteenth resolutions.
In accordance with Article R.225-116 of the French Commercial Code, we will prepare an additional report if and when the Board of Directors uses these delegations of authority to issue securities carrying rights to other securities or debt securities, to issue securities carrying rights to new securities, or to issue shares without preemptive subscription rights for existing shareholders.

The Statutory Auditors
Paris-La Défense, March 27, 2023
KPMG Audit FS I
Sandie Tzinmann Partner

Paris, March 27, 2023
Denjean & Associés Céline Kien Partner

Pursuant to French law, the Boards of Directors of joint-stock corporations (sociétés anonymes) are required to give an account, in a report attached to the management report, of:
The procedures that were carried out during the preparation of this report are as follows: monthly meetings between the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer, regular dialogue with the other directors and discussions with the Statutory Auditors, particularly at Audit Committee meetings.
This report, which was prepared on the basis of the information provided by the Chief Executive Officer, was approved by the Board of Directors at the meeting held on March 7, 2023 and transmitted to the Statutory Auditors.
In corporate governance matters and pursuant to the Board of Directors' decision of January 30, 2009, our Company refers to the December 2022 update of the AFEP-MEDEF Corporate Governance Code of Listed Corporations (the "Reference Code"), available at www.afep.com/publications/code-afep-medef/, to the extent that it is compatible with the Company's organization and size.
The following provisions of the Reference Code have not, however, been applied:
| Recommendation not applied | Justification | Achievement of general objective set under the recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Proportion of independent directors on the Board of Directors (Section 9.3 of the AFEP-MEDEF Code) |
In controlled companies, independent directors should account for at least a third of the Board members. At March 7, 2023, three of the ten directors were independent (i.e., 30%). The composition of the Board of Directors is linked to the majority shareholder and the minority shareholders being directly involved in the Board's work. Although Northwood Investors controls the Company, it only recommended the appointment of five of the ten directors, as two directors were appointed on the recommendation of the main minority shareholder. In particular, in view of the stipulations relating to the composition of the Board of Directors provided for in the shareholders' agreement entered into on April 6, 2016, as modified by an amendment dated December 16, 2021, between NW CGR 1 S.a.r.l, NW CGR 2 S.a.r.l and NW CGR 3 S.a.r.l, entities of the Northwood Concert and Euro Bernini Private Limited (a GIC group entity), it is not currently possible to change the composition of Vitura's Board of Directors. Furthermore, in order to maintain the Board's effectiveness, we do not consider it appropriate to increase the number of members. Nevertheless, in the event of a change in the shareholder base, the Company could consider changing the Board of Directors' composition so that independent directors account for one-third of its members, as recommended by the AFEP-MEDEF Code. In addition, three Board committees (the Audit Committee, the Appointments and Compensation Committee, and the Investment Committee) are in place and independent directors sit on the Board of Directors (30% of the Board's members are independent) and its committees (two-thirds of the Audit Committee and the Appointments and Compensation Committee's members are independent). This ensures that control cannot be exercised in an abusive manner. Lastly, the Board of Directors' Internal Rules and Regulations contain a Directors' Charter, which requires each director to be attentive to the division and exercise of the respective powers and responsibility of the Company's governing bodies and to ensure that no one can exercise uncontrolled discretionary power over the Company. The Charter also stipulates that each director must inform the Board of Directors of any, even potential, conflict of interest, in which he/she could be directly or indirectly involved. They shall refrain from participating in any debates and decision-making relating to the subjects in question. Alec Emmott, legal representative of Europroperty Consulting, will lose his status as an independent director during the year, as he will have served on the Board for more than 12 years. The Company will appoint a replacement during the year. |
|
| Ethical rules for directors (Section 20 of the AFEP-MEDEF Code) |
Directors are not required to hold a minimum number of shares. They do not all personally hold Vitura shares and do not own a large number of shares in relation to the directors' compensation they receive, mainly because certain directors are linked to the majority shareholder and they do not all receive directors' compensation. |
|
| Shareholding requirement for executive corporate officers (Section 23 of the AFEP-MEDEF Code) |
The Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer are not required to hold a minimum number of shares, mainly because they are linked to the majority shareholder and they do not receive any compensation for their duties. |
|
| Organization of executive meetings (Section 11.3 of the AFEP-MEDEF Code) |
For practical reasons, no Board of Directors' meetings were held without the presence of the executive corporate officers in 2022. Such a meeting may be organized in 2023. |

Pursuant to the Company's bylaws, directors are appointed for four-year terms.

On March 7, 2023, Erin Cannata was provisionally appointed (coopted) as director to replace outgoing director Jérôme Anselme for the remainder of his term, i.e., until the close of the Annual General Shareholders' Meeting to be held in 2025 to approve the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2024. Erin Cannata is a Managing Director at Northwood Investors and is responsible for evaluating real estate equity and debt investment opportunities in the US. Erin spent 6 years for Northwood based in London and was involved in over \$4 billion of transactions of real estate acquisitions, disposals and financings across all property types in Europe for Northwood. Prior to joining Northwood Investors, Ms. Cannata worked in the Real Estate Gaming & Lodging Investment Banking group at Bank of America Merrill Lynch in New York where she focused on corporate advisory assignments and capital markets transactions for the firm's real estate, lodging, and gaming clients.
Ms. Cannata received a double major B.S. in Finance and Accounting, summa cum laude, from the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University.
Lorenzo Segre has been appointed permanent representative of Euro Lily Private Limited, a director, with effect from March 7, 2023, replacing outgoing representative Tracy Stroh. Lorenzo Segre is Senior Vice President at GIC and is responsible for sourcing, structuring, executing and managing direct and indirect investments in France and Italy. Since joining GIC, Lorenzo Segre has been involved in over €3 billion worth of transactions. He is a Board of Directors and advisory committee member at several organizations in which GIC holds interests.
No directors are elected by the employees pursuant to Article L.225-27 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce).
For the purposes of their terms of office, the members of the Board of Directors and Executive Management are domiciled at the Company's registered office.
Three of the Board members, Marie-Flore Bachelier, Jean-Marc Besson and Alec Emmott (in his capacity as permanent representative of Europroperty Consulting), were considered to be independent at December 31, 2022, in accordance with the definition provided in the Reference Code. However, Alec Emmott will lose his status as an independent director during the year, as he will no longer meet the criterion set out in Section 9.5.6 of the AFEP-MEDEF Code ("not having been a Board member for more than 12 years"). Accordingly, the Company is seeking an independent director to replace Alec Emmott at the close of the upcoming Annual General Shareholders' Meeting to be held to approve the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Nevertheless, beyond 10% of the capital or voting rights and acting on the report of the Appointments Committee, the Board is required to review the independence of the Board member with regard to the ownership structure of the Company and the existence of a potential conflict of interest.
The Company has not appointed a lead director.
After reviewing the situation of each independent director, the Board of Directors established that none of them has any business dealings with the Group.
The Board members who are deemed to be independent have undertaken to comply with the Directors' Charter (charte de l'administrateur) in order to maintain the conditions required for this independent director status.
Nevertheless, in the event of a change in the shareholder base, the Company could consider changing the Board of Directors' composition so that independent directors account for one-third of its members, as recommended by the AFEP-MEDEF Code.
The Board of Directors comprises four women and six men. The Company therefore complies with the recommendations of the Reference Code and the legal provisions on gender balance at Board level (paragraph 1 of Article L.225-18-1 of the French Commercial Code).
Article 19 of the bylaws provides for the ability to appoint non-voting directors to the Board. They are tasked with issuing opinions and suggestions to the Company's committees and assisting the Board of Directors in determining corporate strategy. No non-voting directors were appointed during the year ended December 31, 2022.
Pursuant to the law, the Board of Directors determines the Company's strategic business orientations and ensures the implementation thereof. Subject to the powers expressly granted to General Shareholders' Meetings and within the limits of the purpose provided for in the bylaws, it deals with any issues affecting the smooth operation of the Company and settles, by its deliberations, all matters concerning the Company's business.
The Board of Directors can also carry out all controls and verifications that it considers appropriate. Even if operational management is entrusted to the Chief Executive Officer and Deputy Chief Executive Officer, if any, the Board of Directors may address any issues relating to the Company's operation.
In accordance with the Board of Directors' Internal Rules and Regulations, the Board votes on all decisions related to the Company's key strategic, business, social and financial orientations and oversees their implementation by the Chief Executive Officer and the Deputy Chief Executive Officers.
As regards corporate social responsibility (CSR), the Board strives to promote value creation over the long term, taking into consideration the social and environmental impacts of the Company. It regularly reviews opportunities and risks, such as financial, legal, operational, social and environmental risks, in light of the strategy it has defined, as well as the resulting measures taken. The Board may propose any change to the bylaws it deems appropriate in this respect.
The composition of the Board of Directors ensures a balanced representation of women and men and diversity in terms of nationality, age, qualifications and professional experience. As part of its role, the Appointments and Compensation Committee is responsible for ensuring that the Board is balanced and suitably diverse. Moreover, it should be noted that the Company has no management committee and therefore no specific diversity policy within the management bodies.
As regards diversity and non-discrimination, the Board ensures that the executive corporate officers implement a non-discrimination and diversity policy aimed in particular at achieving a balanced representation of women and men on the Board, its executive and management committees and, more broadly, its senior management.
The Sapin II anti-corruption rules are not applicable to Vitura, as it does not exceed the relevant regulatory thresholds. If the headcount and revenue thresholds are exceeded in the future, the Board of Directors will ensure that a system is implemented for preventing and detecting corruption and influence peddling by executive corporate officers.
Vitura is not subject to the risk of tax evasion as both its business and that of its subsidiaries are based entirely in France. Furthermore, in the conduct of its business, the Company complies with the applicable legislation and regulations and its financial statements are audited annually by the Statutory Auditors.
To allow the Board members to properly prepare for Board meetings, the Chairman endeavors to provide them with all the information and documents they require in advance.
For example, the draft financial statements were transmitted to the directors 15 days before the relevant Board meeting.
Whenever a Board member so requests, the Chairman of the Board of Directors provides him/her, insofar as possible, with the additional information and documents that he/she wishes to receive.
Directors can meet with the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer at any time.
The directors are convened to Board meetings by any means and are provided with all the information required to perform their assignments in the notice of the meeting.
In compliance with the bylaws and legal provisions, certain Board of Directors' meetings may be held by videoconference.
Board meetings are generally held at the registered office but can be held at any other location, subject to being duly convened by the Chairman of the Board of Directors.
In 2022, the Board of Directors met four times. Of those meetings, two were held without the Chairman of the Board, who was nevertheless represented by another director.

No meetings were called at the initiative of either the directors or the Chief Executive Officer.
The Statutory Auditors are invited to attend the Board of Directors' meeting that approves the annual and interim financial statements for issue.
They attended the March 2, 2022 Board of Directors' meeting that reviewed and approved for issue the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the July 27, 2022 meeting that reviewed and approved for issue the interim financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
They also attended meetings of the Audit Committee.
To guarantee the coordination between Executive Management and the Board of Directors, the members of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer meet periodically.
Jérôme Anselme, Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, attended all Board of Directors' meetings.
The main themes addressed during the meetings were the following:
Given its structure, the Board of Directors has adopted Internal Rules and Regulations that stipulate the organization of Board meetings and the Chief Executive Officer's responsibilities and powers vis-à-vis the Board. The Internal Rules and Regulations also set forth the rules of corporate governance and stipulate the operational responsibilities and modus operandi of the Audit and CSR Committee, the Investment Committee and the Appointments and Compensation Committee. The Board of Directors updated its Internal Rules and Regulations at its meeting of March 7, 2023 following the publication of the revised AFEP-MEDEF Code in December 2022, which makes social and environmental responsibility – in particular with regard to climate issues – central to the Board of Directors' role.
They also set out the procedure for assessing related party agreements.
A Directors' Charter adopted at the same time as the Internal Rules and Regulations reiterates the directors' rights and obligations in the exercise of their duties.
The Board's Internal Rules and Regulations are available on the Company's website: https://vitura.fr/en/.
The Internal Rules and Regulations are reviewed on a regular basis and adapted in line with changes to regulations and the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code.
The internal rules for preventing and managing Board members' conflicts of interest are included in the Directors' Charter.
Article 6 of the Directors' Charter provides that: "Directors shall inform the Board of Directors of any conflicts of interest, even potential, in which they could be directly or indirectly involved. They shall refrain from participating in any debates and decision-making relating to the subjects in question. More generally, directors shall act with total independence and without pressure of any kind. They should inform the Chairman of any family ties they may have with another director or the Chief Executive Officer."
To the Company's knowledge and on the date of preparation hereof, there is no conflict of interest between the duties of any members of the Board of Directors or Executive Management with respect to the Company regarding their positions as corporate officers and their private interests or other duties.
To the Company's knowledge and on the date of preparation hereof, over the last five years, no member of the Board of Directors or Executive Management has been:
To the Company's knowledge and on the date of preparation hereof:
To the Company's knowledge and on the date of preparation hereof, no family ties exist between (i) the members of the Board of Directors, (ii) the Company's corporate officers, and (iii) the persons referred to in (i) and (ii).
In accordance with the AFEP-MEDEF Code, a formal assessment of the Board of Directors must be conducted at least every three years, where appropriate with the assistance of an external consultant under the direction of the Appointments and Compensation Committee. The Board must also hold a discussion on its functioning once a year.
\
Accordingly, pursuant to Article 12.3.2 of the Board of Directors' Internal Rules and Regulations, the Appointments and Compensation Committee will initiate a formal assessment in the first half of 2023 with the assistance of an external consultant. Individual interviews will be held with each of the directors. The aims of the assessment will be to (i) assess the modus operandi of the Board, (ii) verify that critical matters are suitably prepared and (iii) evaluate the contribution of each director to the work of the Board.
At its meeting of March 7, 2023, the Board discussed its functioning.
An Audit Committee, an Appointments and Compensation Committee and an Investment Committee have been set up by the Board of Directors. Their responsibilities and modus operandi are specified in the Internal Rules and Regulations.
The Audit and CSR Committee comprises Marie-Flore Bachelier (independent), Jean-Marc Besson (independent) and Sebastien Abascal (in his capacity as permanent representative of Euro Fairview Private Limited).
The terms of office of the Audit and CSR Committee members are the same length as their terms of office as directors of the Company.
The criteria used for assessing the independence of committee members, in particular those of the Audit and CSR Committee, are the same as those used for assessing the Board members' independence, as described above.
Marie-Flore Bachelier was appointed Chair of the Audit Committee. She is considered to be independent and proficient in financial matters as well as in internal control and risk management. Her academic training and knowledge of the Group's activity means that she has the expertise the Board requires.
The other Committee members also have relevant financial or accounting knowledge.
The Audit and CSR Committee's role is described in the Internal Rules and Regulations.
The Audit and CSR Committee met twice in 2022, and performed the following work:
The attendance rate for the Audit Committee was 100%.
The Committee members had ample time to review the financial and accounting documents and were able to meet with the Statutory Auditors.
The Committee reported to the Board on its work and the Board took note of, and followed, all the Committee's recommendations.
The Board of Directors is satisfied with the work carried out by the Audit and CSR Committee.
The Appointments and Compensation Committee comprises Marie-Flore Bachelier (independent), Alec Emmott, in his capacity as permanent representative of Europroperty Consulting (independent), and Florian Schaefer.
Alec Emmott (in his capacity as permanent representative of Europroperty Consulting) is Chairman of the Appointments and Compensation Committee.
The terms of office of Appointments and Compensation Committee members are the same length as their terms of office as directors of the Company.
The Appointments and Compensation Committee's role is described in the Internal Rules and Regulations. It is responsible for drawing up a succession plan for executive corporate officers, with the involvement of the Chairman.
The Appointments and Compensation Committee met twice in 2022, and performed the following work:
The attendance rate was 100%.
The Committee reported to the Board on its work and the Board took note of, and followed, all the Committee's recommendations.
The Board of Directors is satisfied with the work carried out by the Appointments and Compensation Committee.
The Investment Committee comprises Jean-Marc Besson (independent), Alec Emmott (in his capacity as permanent representative of EuroProperty Consulting – independent), Sebastien Abascal (in his capacity as permanent representative of Euro Fairview Private Limited) and Florian Schaefer.
The terms of office of Investment Committee members are the same length as their terms of office as directors of the Company.
The Investment Committee's role is described in the Internal Rules and Regulations.
The Investment Committee met once in 2022, and performed the following work:
The attendance rate was 75%.
On December 31, 2005, the Board decided to separate the functions of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. No reason was given for its decision.
The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for the operational management of the Company.
The Chief Executive Officer shall have the powers and perform his/ her assignment under the conditions laid down by Article L.225-56 of the French Commercial Code, by the Internal Rules and Regulations adopted by the Board of Directors and by the Company's bylaws.
Subject to the limits indicated below, the Chief Executive Officer shall:
To limit their powers, the Chief Executive Officer and the Deputy Chief Executive Officers may not, in the name and on behalf of the Company, perform a certain number of acts or transactions, or carry out any contractual steps leading to such acts or transactions, in an amount of more than EUR 10 million per year (it being specified that in the event of related or connected acts or transactions, this limit will be assessed on an aggregate basis including all such acts or transactions), without having requested and received the Board of Directors' prior authorization to do so. These limitations on powers are described in the Board of Directors' Internal Rules and Regulations.
The succession plan for the Chairman of the Board of Directors takes into account the specific conditions applicable to the Company's corporate governance. In particular, the shareholder agreement in force between Northwood and GIC stipulates that the Chairman of the Board of Directors shall be chosen based on the Northwood's recommendation from among the directors representing Northwood.
The process applicable in the event of the unforeseen departure of the Chief Executive Officer (resignation, inability to serve, death, etc.) or at the end of their term of office, is as follows: Northwood and GIC will meet in advance of the planned departure or, in the event of an unforeseen departure, promptly after the event occurs, to select a successor. Once they have reached a common position, they will inform the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chairman of the Appointments and Compensation Committee prior to the Board of Directors' meeting called to consider the recommendation. The Board of Directors will then take a decision on the recommendation in accordance with its governance rules.
The table below shows the profile, experience and directorships of the members of the Company's Board of Directors and its senior executives at December 31, 2022, including a summary of directorships and other offices held over the last five fiscal years (Article L.225-37-4, 1° of the French Commercial Code).

In accordance with Article L.22-10-8 of the French Commercial Code, the corporate officer compensation policy is presented below. The policy must be in line with the Company's corporate interest, contribute to its long-term development and be consistent with its business strategy. It should describe all the items comprising the fixed and variable compensation paid to corporate officers and explain the decisionmaking process by which the respective amounts are determined, revised and implemented.
The directors do not receive any compensation other than an amount that is paid for their attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors or the various committees of the Board. Said amount is distributed among the directors based on their effective attendance at Board meetings, and depending on their position as a member and/or chairman of a committee.
However, the principle laid down by the Board of Directors is not to compensate corporate officers for their duties when they are a Board member representing a major shareholder.
Accordingly, the directors appointed on the recommendation of Northwood Investors (John Kukral, Jérôme Anselme, Reshma Banarse, Sophie Kramer and Florian Schaefer) and the directors appointed on the recommendation of GIC (Euro Fairview Private Limited, represented by Sebastien Abascal, and Euro Lily Private Limited, represented by Tracy Stroh) do not receive any compensation for their duties.
The General Shareholders' Meeting of June 16, 2020 set the fixed annual amount of directors' compensation at EUR 240,000 until a decision to the contrary is made.
The General Shareholders' Meeting to be held on May 10, 2023 will be asked to vote on the executive corporate officer compensation policy for 2023.
A resolution, as reproduced below, is submitted at least annually for approval by the General Shareholders' Meeting as required by law.
In the event of a negative vote on the resolution at the General Shareholders' Meeting of May 10, 2023, compensation will be determined based on the compensation policy previously approved for prior years and the Board will submit a revised compensation policy for approval at the next Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting. The text of the corresponding resolution will indicate how the shareholders' vote and any opinions expressed during the previous General Shareholders' Meeting have been taken into account in the revised compensation policy. If no compensation policy has previously been approved, compensation is determined in accordance with the compensation awarded for the previous fiscal year or, if no compensation was awarded for the previous fiscal year, on the basis of existing practices in the Company.
It should be noted that the Company may not set, award or pay any item of compensation of any kind whatsoever or make any commitment in relation to items of compensation, indemnities or benefits payable or likely to be payable with respect to the assumption or termination of or a change in duties or at any time thereafter, unless such items are consistent with the approved compensation policy or, where there is no approved compensation policy, on the basis of previously approved compensation or existing practices in the Company.
The Board is responsible for setting the compensation of executive corporate officers on the recommendation of the Appointments and Compensation Committee.
Compensation of corporate officers representing a major shareholder
The principle laid down by the Board of Directors is not to compensate executive corporate officers for their duties when they are an executive corporate officer of and/or a Board member representing a major shareholder. Consequently, the Chairman of the Board of Directors (John Kukral) and the Chief Executive Officer (Jérôme Anselme) do not receive any individual compensation or benefits of any kind whatsoever from the Company for their duties.
Compensation of corporate officers not representing a major shareholder
When determining compensation for executive corporate officers not representing a major shareholder (including newly appointed corporate officers), the Board applies the following principles:
1 - Exhaustiveness: all items of compensation must be taken into account in the overall assessment of the compensation.
This policy will apply to the entire fixed, variable and exceptional compensation granted by the Company as well as benefits of any kind. It will also include all conditional deferred compensation, termination benefits, non-recurring pension benefits and other variable compensation.
In this regard, the executive corporate officers' compensation will be closely tied to the Group's performance, particularly by means of annual variable compensation and, where appropriate, performance shares. The quantitative portion of variable compensation will be contingent on the achievement of precise, simple and measurable objectives, intended, in particular, to promote the Group's performance and competitiveness over the medium and long term by including one or more criteria related to social and environmental responsibility.
In this regard, the Board of Directors and the Appointments and Compensation Committee will ensure that no component of the executive corporate officers' compensation is disproportionate and that their compensation is both competitive, through regular compensation surveys, and appropriate for the Company's strategy and situation.
John Kukral has been Chairman of the Board of Directors since April 14, 2016 and was reappointed on May 12, 2021. He does not receive any compensation in respect of his duties. Accordingly, there is no need to "benchmark" his compensation against the average and median compensation of the Company's employees and to indicate any changes in those ratios.
He is not entitled to any complementary pension scheme within the Group.
He is not entitled to any termination benefits, indemnities or compensation.
There is no employment contract between John Kukral and Vitura or any of its subsidiaries or their subsidiaries.
Jérôme Anselme has been Chief Executive Officer since October 25, 2017 and was reappointed on May 12, 2021. He does not receive any compensation from the Company in respect of his duties. Accordingly, there is no need to "benchmark" his compensation against the average and median compensation of the Company's employees and to indicate any changes in those ratios.
He is not entitled to any complementary pension scheme within the Group.
He is not entitled to any termination benefits, indemnities or compensation.
There is no employment contract between Jérôme Anselme and Vitura or any of its subsidiaries or their subsidiaries.
(Approval of the corporate officer compensation policy in compliance with Article L.22-10-8 II of the French Commercial Code)
Having reviewed the Board of Directors' report on corporate governance prepared in compliance with Article L.22-10-8 II of the French Commercial Code, the General Shareholders' Meeting approves the corporate officer compensation policy, as described in this report and referred to in section VI.4.3 of the 2022 Universal Registration Document.
The information disclosed hereafter is presented based on the AFEP-MEDEF Code as updated in January 2020, the Annual Reports of the French High Committee for Corporate Governance (Haut Comité de Gouvernement d'Entreprise), it being specified that the Company neither paid nor awarded any individual compensation or benefits of any kind whatsoever to the Chairman of the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer for the year ended December 31, 2022.

A General Shareholders' Meeting is open to all shareholders irrespective of the number of shares that they hold.
The right to participate in General Shareholders' Meetings is substantiated by the shares being registered in the shareholder's or the intermediary's name either in (i) the registered share accounts kept by the Company or (ii) the bearer share accounts kept by the authorized intermediary prior to midnight, Paris time, of the second business day before the meeting (Article R.22-10-28 of the French Commercial Code).
The recording of bearer shares is evidenced by a share ownership certificate issued by the authorized intermediary.
If a shareholder cannot attend the General Shareholders' Meeting personally, he/she may choose from one of the following three options: (i) issue a proxy to his/her spouse/civil partner or another shareholder or any other person of his/her choice, (ii) send a proxy to the Company indicating no name or (iii) vote by post.
\
Shareholders' requests to include resolutions and/or items on the agenda must be sent to the registered office by registered letter with return receipt requested no later than 25 days before the date of the meeting.
Shareholders may submit written questions to the Board of Directors up to the fourth business day before the date of the meeting.
Pursuant to Article L.22-10-11 of the French Commercial Code, we specify below the points that could have an impact in the event of a public offer. They include agreements entered into by the Company that would be amended or terminated in the event of a change in control of the Company.
These points are as follows:
Chairman is appointed by the Board of Directors and may be removed by the Board at any time.
No new agreement potentially falling within the scope of Article L.225-38 of the French Commercial Code and representing a related party agreement was entered into during 2022.
Note that under internal rules, the Group's Finance department is to be immediately informed prior to any transaction potentially falling within the scope of Article L.225-38 of the French Commercial Code and representing a related party agreement ("Related Party Agreement") for the Company, by any persons with a direct or indirect interest in said agreement, including any persons in the Group aware of a planned agreement that could meet the definition of a Related Party Agreement.
This disclosure is required even when the agreement could represent an agreement entered into in the ordinary course of business and on arm's length terms not subject to the related party agreement procedure. The Group's Finance department, assisted where appropriate by the Board of Directors, is responsible for classifying such agreements. To do this, it reviews the agreement in question in order to determine whether or not it falls within the scope of Related Party Agreements or whether it meets the definition of an agreement entered into in the ordinary course of business and on arm's length terms as described in section VI.4.7 below.
If the Group's Finance department considers the agreement meets the definition of a Related Party Agreement, it informs the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer thereof. Note that in accordance with Article L.225-40 of the French Commercial Code, any persons with a direct or indirect interest in such agreements are required to inform the Board of Directors as soon as they become aware of a Related Party Agreement.
The Chairman then informs the directors of the planned Related Party Agreement to be entered into by the Company and calls a meeting of the Board of Directors, which then decides whether or not to approve the agreement.
The Board of Directors must provide grounds for its approval, justifying the utility of the agreement for the Company, notably by detailing the related financial terms and conditions.
Persons with a direct or indirect interest in the agreement do not participate in the Board of Directors' deliberations or vote on the approval requested.
Furthermore, on submitting the matter to a vote of the General Shareholders' Meeting, those persons' vote is not taken into consideration for the purposes of calculating the majority.
In accordance with AMF recommendation no. 2012-5 of July 2, 2012, when a Related Party Agreement is likely to have a significant impact on the financial position or earnings of the Company or Group, the Board may decide to appoint an independent expert. In this case, a report will be provided to the shareholders so they may have their say in a General Shareholders' Meeting, subject to any restrictions imposed by trade secrets.
In accordance with Article L.225-10-13 of the French Commercial Code, any Related Party Agreements entered into will be disclosed on the Company's website, at the latest at the date said agreement is signed.
In accordance with AMF recommendation no. 2012-5 of July 2, 2012, in exceptional cases where the prior approval of the Board was not given, the Board of Directors will be asked to ratify the agreements concerned before they are approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting, except in particular cases in which a conflict of interest exists for all directors.
Once the Company has entered into the approved agreement, the Chairman informs the Statutory Auditors and said agreement is submitted for the approval of the General Shareholders' Meeting.
Agreements entered into and approved in previous years that remained in force during the past year are reviewed annually by the Board, even though no further approval is required. The Statutory Auditors are also informed of these agreements.
Regarding the agreements referred to in Article L.225-39 of the French Commercial Code dealing with transactions entered into in the ordinary course of business and on arm's length terms that are not subject to the prior approval of the Board of Directors, the Chairman provides the directors and Statutory Auditors with a list and a description of the purpose of the agreements of which he is aware, when first requested by the directors or Statutory Auditors, and at the latest at the date of the Board of Directors' meeting held to approve the financial statements.
Once a year, the Board reviews the criteria used to determine on a case-by-case basis that a given agreement represents a transaction entered into in the ordinary course of business and on arm's length terms.
▪ Transactions entered into in the ordinary course of business are transactions typically carried out by the Company as part of its business activities, notably to further its corporate purpose. Usual practices of companies in similar situations are also considered.
Although an exhaustive list of all such transactions cannot be provided, they may for example include tax consolidation agreements, cash management and cash pooling arrangements, cash transactions and/or intragroup loans/ shareholder advances, shared Group expenses billed by the parent company to its subsidiaries (notably HR, IT, communication, finance, legal, accounting and procurement expenses), and facilities made available by an entity (e.g., property rentals).
Other criteria are also taken into account in order to determine whether a transaction is entered into in the ordinary course of business, namely the nature of the transaction and its significance and/or its economic or legal ramifications.
▪ The transaction is entered into on arm's length terms if those terms resemble the terms usually applicable to similar transactions or represent usual practice by the Company in its dealings with third parties. In determining whether transactions are entered into on arm's length terms, price is a key factor to be considered, and especially whether the transaction is carried out at market price or at a price typically applied in the sector concerned. Besides the financial aspects of the agreements, the legal terms will also be reviewed in order to determine whether or not they are reasonable or standard for the type of transaction envisaged.
Transactions must be entered into both in the ordinary course of business and on arm's length terms in order to meet the definition above; if only one criterion is met, the related party agreement procedure applies.
The analysis of whether the agreements meet these criteria is performed on a case-by-case basis by the Group's Finance department, based notably on the study published by the French National Institute of Statutory Auditors (Compagnie Nationale des Commissaires aux Comptes – CNCC) in February 2014 on related party agreements and agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business.
\
This analysis is revised whenever any agreements classified as transactions entered into in the ordinary course of business and on arm's length terms are modified, renewed, extended or terminated, such that an agreement previously considered outside the scope of the related party agreement procedure may be reconsidered a Related Party Agreement and therefore subject to this procedure, and vice versa.
In accordance with paragraph 2 of Article L.225-39 of the French Commercial Code, persons with a direct or indirect interest in the agreement may not be involved in reviewing that agreement.
Lastly, it should be noted that agreements entered into by the Company with one of its direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries are classified as agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business and on arm's length terms pursuant to Article L.225-39 of the French Commercial Code, even if the two companies have executives in common.
No agreements have been directly or indirectly entered into by a subsidiary with one of the corporate officers or one of the shareholders holding more than 10% of the voting rights.
The Company's real estate subsidiaries (Prothin, CGR Propco SCI, Hanami Rueil SCI and Office Kennedy SCI) have entered into an advisory services agreement (ASA) with Northwood Investors France Asset Management SAS, a Northwood group entity (see section VI.7.1).
In addition, the Company has entered into:
▪ with Office Kennedy SCI, an administrative services agreement dated October 19, 2021 and a current account agreement dated October 19, 2021;
The above agreements classified as agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business and on arm's length terms pursuant to Article L.225-39 of the French Commercial Code, and the provisions of Article L.225-38 of the French Commercial Code are not applicable because the agreements have been entered into with subsidiaries that are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company.

In order to minimize the number of people representing the Board of Directors, responsibility for shareholder relations with the Board – particularly with respect to corporate governance matters – has been entrusted to Jérôme Anselme, director and Chief Executive Officer.
Jérôme Anselme has experience in corporate communication. He is tasked with explaining the positions adopted by the Board – and previously notified – in its areas of competence (particularly strategy, governance and senior executive compensation). Jérôme Anselme reports to the Board of Directors on his work in this role.
We hope that this report will give you a better idea of the working procedures and methods that are implemented in the Company, as well as of the allocation of powers among the Company's various decision-making bodies.
The Board of Directors
The Company's name is Vitura.
The Company is registered with the Paris Trade and Companies Registry under number 422 800 029.
Its business identification (SIRET) number is 422 800 029 00031 and its business activity code is 6820B (leasing of other real estate assets).
Its legal entity identifier is 969500EQZGSVHQZQE212.
The Company was incorporated on April 22, 1999 for a term of 99 years in the form of a French limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée). It was converted into a French joint-stock corporation (société anonyme) on December 31, 2005.
The Company's registered office is located at: 42 rue de Bassano, 75008 Paris, France.
The Company is a French joint-stock corporation (société anonyme) with a Board of Directors that is governed by the provisions of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce).
The telephone number for the registered office is: +33 (0)1 42 25 76 36.
The Company's website is: www.vitura.fr/en.
On June 1, 2006, the Company elected for the preferential tax treatment granted to listed real estate investment companies ("SIICs") in accordance with Article 208 C of the French Tax Code (Code général des impôts).
The Company's eligibility for SIIC tax treatment was confirmed by the French tax authorities on January 3, 2006 subject to compliance with the conditions laid down by the law.
Article 208 C of the French Tax Code stipulates that a company may elect for SIIC tax treatment provided that it meets all of the following conditions at all times:
▪ its capital or voting rights may not be held at 60% or more by one or several persons acting in concert within the meaning of Article L.233-10 of the French Commercial Code.
If during a fiscal year the Company fails to comply with this threshold, in principle it shall no longer be eligible for the preferential tax treatment.
However, the 60% condition does not apply if the breach is due to certain specific transactions and is temporary in nature.
More specifically, if during a fiscal year 60% or more of the Company's capital or voting rights comes to be held by one or several persons acting in concert pursuant to a public offer within the meaning of Article L.433-1 of the French Monetary and Financial Code (Code monétaire et financier), the condition is deemed to have been met if the percentage holding is reduced to less than 60% before the final date for filing the financial statements for the fiscal year in which the threshold was breached (for companies with a December 31 year-end, the final date is the second business day after May 1);
▪ its capital and voting rights must be held at 15% or more by persons each holding less than 2% of the capital and voting rights on the first day of the financial period in which the Company applies the SIIC tax treatment.
SIICs that have elected for the preferential tax treatment granted to listed real estate investment companies (SIICs) in accordance with Article 208 C of the French Tax Code are exempt from paying corporate income tax on the portion of their income resulting from:
The Company's exemption from corporate income tax could be fully or partially contested if it fails to meet these conditions.
The following information summarizes the French tax regime applicable to income on the Company's shares. The information is based on the tax laws and regulations applicable in France as of the date of this Universal Registration Document.
It may be affected by legal or regulatory amendments (which may be applied retroactively) or by any changes in the interpretation of said laws and regulations by the French tax authorities.
The information is not an exhaustive description of all the tax implications for individuals who will hold shares. The individuals concerned are invited to seek advice from their tax advisor on the tax treatment applicable to their specific situation, particularly in connection with the subscription, acquisition, holding and disposal of Company shares.
\
The following paragraphs concern individual French tax residents within the meaning of Article 4 B of the French Tax Code holding shares in connection with the management of their private assets, who do not engage in stock market transactions under conditions similar to those which characterize an activity carried out in a professional capacity.
The Company's shares may not be registered in a French stock savings plan (plan d'épargne en actions – PEA).
Dividends are taxed in two stages.
On payment, dividends are subject to a mandatory withholding tax (prélèvement forfaitaire obligatoire non libératoire – PFNL) at a rate of 12.8%. The PFNL is deducted from the income tax due for the year in which it was levied. If it exceeds the income tax due, the surplus is refunded. Individuals who are part of a tax household whose reference taxable income for the prior fiscal year is less than EUR 50,000 (single, divorced or widowed taxpayers) or EUR 75,000 (taxpayers submitting a joint tax return) may request exemption from the PFNL.
In addition, when dividends are paid, they are also subject to social security contributions at a rate of 17.2%.
Social security contributions can be broken down as follows:
(i) general social contribution (contribution sociale généralisée – CSG) at a rate of 9.2%;
(ii) solidarity levy (prélèvement de solidarité) at a rate of 7.5%; and
(iii) contribution for social debt repayment (contribution pour le remboursement de la dette sociale – CRDS) at a rate of 0.5%.
On final taxation, dividends are subject to income tax (after deduction of the PFNL) at a flat rate of 12.8% (prélèvement forfaitaire unique – PFU) or at the progressive rate, where the taxpayer opts for the irrevocable application of the progressive rate to all of his/her income falling within the scope of the PFU.
If the taxpayer opts for the progressive rate, dividends distributed from:
In addition, if the taxpayer opts for the progressive rate, the CSG social security contribution may be deducted from taxable income at a rate of 6.8%.
Net capital gains realized on the sale of the Company's shares are subject to income tax at the flat rate (PFU) or at the progressive rate, where the taxpayer opts for the irrevocable application of the progressive rate to all of his/her income falling within the scope of the PFU.
These capital gains are also subject to social security contributions at a rate of 17.2%. If the taxpayer opts for the progressive rate, the CSG social security contribution may be deducted from taxable income at a rate of 6.8%.
If, in a given year, the sale of the shares generates a net capital loss, this loss can only be deducted from capital gains of the same nature realized during that same year.
If the balance is positive, the remaining capital gains shall be reduced, where applicable, by an amount equal to capital losses of the same nature incurred in previous years up to and including ten years.
If the balance is negative, the surplus capital losses that are not deducted shall be carried forward under the same conditions up to and including ten years.
Taxpayers liable to pay income tax are subject to an exceptional contribution for high earners. This contribution is based on the reference taxable income of the household as defined by Article 1417, IV of the French Tax Code, without taking into account the capital gains mentioned in I of Article 150-0 B ter for which the deferral of taxation expires, these capital gains being subject to the contribution according to specific terms and conditions, and without application of the quotient rules defined under Article 163-0 A of the French Tax Code (the "Corrected Reference Taxable Income").
The Corrected Reference Taxable Income is subject to the following rates:
Dividends and capital gains from the disposal of securities are taken into account for the calculation of the Corrected Reference Taxable Income.
Dividends paid out of the Company's earnings are included in the taxable income of the legal entity shareholder subject to corporate income tax.
Usually, these dividends are subject to corporate income tax at the standard rate (25% as of the date of this Universal Registration Document).
However, dividends paid out of the Company's taxable income may, on election, be exempt from corporate income tax, with the exception of a share of costs and expenses equal to 5% of the amount of the dividends (the Parent-Subsidiary Tax Regime). The Parent-Subsidiary Tax Regime is subject to several conditions. The shares held must:
Investors should consult with their tax advisor regarding the application of the Parent-Subsidiary Tax Regime.
In addition, certain taxpayers liable for corporate income tax are subject to a social security contribution equal to 3.3% of corporate income tax (under certain conditions and subject to certain exceptions).
Dividends deducted from the Company's tax-exempt income and distributed to French collective investment undertakings governed by section 1, paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 of subsection 2, subsection 3, and subsection 4 of section 2 of Chapter IV of Title I of Book II of the French Monetary and Financial Code (Code monétaire et financier) are subject to a withholding tax at a rate of 15%.
Net realized capital gains and net capital losses incurred by legal entity shareholders subject to corporate income tax on the disposal of Company shares are included in the shareholder's taxable income.
In principle, these capital gains will be subject to corporate income tax at the standard rate (25% as of the date of this Universal Registration Document).
However, as the Company is a listed company investing predominantly in real estate (within the meaning of Article 219 I-a sexies 0 bis of the French Tax Code), capital gains on the disposal of shares may benefit from the reduced long-term capital gains tax rate of 19% if the shares are equity investments held for at least two years.
For the purposes of the long-term capital gains regime, equity investments include (i) shares that are equity investments for accounting purposes, (ii) under certain conditions, shares acquired pursuant to a public tender or exchange offer by the initiating company and (iii) shares qualifying for the Parent-Subsidiary Tax Regime.
Investors should consult with their tax advisor in order to determine the rules applicable to their situation.
The following paragraphs concern investors (i) who are not domiciled in France within the meaning of Article 4 B of the French Tax Code or whose registered office is located outside of France and (ii) who will receive dividends from the Company's shares held other than through a permanent establishment subject to tax in France.
Notwithstanding any applicable international tax treaties, a withholding tax is levied by the paying establishment on the dividends distributed by the Company when the tax domicile or registered office of the beneficiary is located outside of France.
The rate of this withholding tax is set for the following beneficiaries:
The withholding tax rate is 75% when the dividends are paid outside of France in a non-cooperative state or territory (NCST) (Etat ou territoire non coopératif – ETNC) within the meaning of Article 238-0 A of the French Tax Code other than those mentioned in 2° of 2 bis of Article 238-0 A of the French Tax Code, unless the debtor can provide proof that the distributions of these dividends in this NCST do not have the purpose or the effect of allowing them to be domiciled in such NCST, for the purpose of tax evasion.
\
In addition, the rate of withholding tax is set at 15% when the dividends are paid out of the Company's tax-exempt income and distributed to a collective investment undertaking governed by foreign law located in a Member State of the European Union or another State or territory that has entered into an administrative assistance agreement with France to combat tax fraud and tax evasion and which (i) raises capital from a certain number of investors with the purpose of investing it on behalf of such investors, pursuant to a defined investment policy, (ii) has characteristics similar to those of collective investment undertakings governed by French law in accordance with Article 119 bis, 2 of the French Tax Code and (iii) meets the conditions set out in administrative guidelines BOI-RPPM-RCM-30-30-20-70.
The French Tax Code provides for exemption from withholding tax in several cases. In particular, withholding tax is not applicable to dividends distributed out of the Company's tax-exempt income when such dividends are distributed to:
Under the French Tax Code, legal entity shareholders and organizations are subject to a refund of withholding tax provided that:
This refund is subject to deferred taxation. This deferred taxation ends, in particular, if the shareholder has returned to a profit-making position.
Non-resident investors should consult with their tax advisor regarding (i) the exemptions provided for by the French Tax Code, (ii) the conditions of application of any refund of withholding tax pursuant to the French Tax Code and (iii) the terms and conditions of applicable tax treaties.
Subject to applicable international tax treaties and specific exemptions, capital gains realized on an occasional basis by individuals resident for tax purposes outside of France or legal entities whose registered office is located outside of France at the time of the disposal of shares in SIICs (sociétés d'investissement immobilier côtées – listed real estate investment companies) in which they hold, directly or indirectly, at least 10% of the share capital are subject to a specific withholding tax (the "Specific Withholding Tax").
The rate of the Specific Withholding Tax is set at:
For individuals, the Specific Withholding Tax is in discharge of income tax.
For legal entities, the Specific Withholding Tax is deducted, where applicable, from the amount of corporate income tax due by the taxpayer on the capital gain for the fiscal year in which it is realized. If it exceeds the income tax due, the surplus is refunded to legal entities resident in a State of the European Union or in a State that has entered into a tax treaty with France containing a clause of administrative assistance for the exchange of information and the fight against tax fraud and tax evasion, and which is not an NCST.
For non-resident shareholders holding less than 10% of the capital of an SIIC, the capital gain on disposal could be treated as French source income within the meaning of Article 164 B of the French Tax Code, subject to international tax treaties, provided that the company's assets are mainly comprised of real estate assets located in France or of rights relating to such assets, at the date of disposal.
Non-resident investors should consult with their tax advisor regarding (i) the tax treatment of capital gains realized by non-resident investors who hold less than 10% of the Company's share capital, (ii) the tax treatment of capital gains realized by non-resident investors domiciled, established or incorporated outside of France in an NCST, and (iii) the terms and conditions for the application of any applicable tax treaties.

A 20% withholding tax applies to dividends that are:
The withholding tax is not due when the beneficiary of the dividend is a company required to distribute the full amount of the dividends received and whose shareholders that directly or indirectly hold at least 10% of its share capital are subject to corporate income tax or another equivalent tax on the dividends received.
The withholding tax is not chargeable or refundable. It must be paid by the Company. The Company's bylaws provide for the financial impact to be passed on to the shareholders that generated this withholding tax.
The dividends distributed in respect of the year ended December 31, 2022 will be paid out of tax-exempt income available for distribution.
The tax treatment of the dividend distribution paid out of tax-exempt income is described above. In particular, note that this dividend paid to individual shareholders who are resident in France for tax purposes is in principle subject to a withholding tax at a flat rate of 30% (social security contributions at a flat rate of 17.2% and a mandatory withholding tax of 12.8%). On final taxation, dividends are subject to income tax (after deduction of the mandatory withholding tax) at a flat rate of 12.8% (prélèvement forfaitaire unique – PFU) or at the progressive rate, where the taxpayer opts forthe irrevocable application of the progressive rate to all of his/her income falling within the scope of the PFU. If the taxpayer opts for the progressive tax rate, the dividend will not be eligible for the 40% allowance since it has not been deducted from the Company's taxable income.
Shareholders are invited to seek advice from their tax advisor on the tax treatment applicable to the dividend.
The following paragraphs present the main provisions of the bylaws of the Company and of the Internal Rules and Regulations for its Board of Directors as of the date of this Universal Registration Document.

\
The general management of the Company shall be placed under the responsibility of either the Chairman of the Board of Directors, or another individual appointed by the Board of Directors who shall have the title of Chief Executive Officer.
The choice between these two methods of exercising general management shall be made by the Board of Directors, which must inform the shareholders and third parties thereof under the regulatory conditions.
The Board's decision as to how the general management will be exercised shall be taken by the majority of the directors who are present or represented. The Board shall determine the duration of the option; in any event, the Board's decision on this point shall remain valid until a decision to the contrary is taken.
When the Board of Directors chooses to separate the duties of the Chairman of the Board of Directors from those of the Chief Executive Officer, it shall appoint the Chief Executive Officer, who need not be a director, set his/her term of office, determine his/her compensation and, where applicable, the limits on his/her powers. The Chief Executive Officer shall have the powers and perform his/ her assignment under the conditions laid down by Article L.225-56 of the French Commercial Code, by the Internal Rules and Regulations adopted by the Board of Directors and by the Company's bylaws.

The Company's Board of Directors has adopted Internal Rules and Regulations which supplement and clarify the terms and conditions of its operation, as provided by the applicable laws and the Company's bylaws. These Internal Rules and Regulations specify, in particular, how the Board is organized and operates, as well as its powers and responsibilities and those of its committees.
A Directors' Charter, which is attached to these Internal Rules and Regulations, specifies the conditions under which all Company directors are required to perform their duties, particularly with regard to Regulation (EU) no. 596/2014 of April 16, 2014 on market abuse (the "MAR regulation").
Each ordinary share entitles holders, under the conditions provided for by law and regulations, to exercise and enjoy monetary and non-monetary rights.
Shareholders only bear losses up to the amounts paid in.
The voting right attached to shares is proportional to the portion of the capital the shares represent and each share grants the right to one vote.
None

The profit for the fiscal year, less prior losses carried forward and amounts allocated to the legal reserve, plus prior profits carried forward, constitutes the distributable profit. In addition to the distributable profit, under the conditions defined by law, the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting can decide to distribute amounts drawn from the reserves to which the shareholders are entitled.
After approval of the annual financial statements and verification of the existence of distributable amounts, the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting decides the portion allocated to shareholders in the form of dividends.
Insofar as the Company has elected for the tax treatment referred to in Article 208 C of the French Tax Code, the amount of the distributable profit shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the second, third and fourth paragraphs of Article 208 C II of said Code, in order to allow the Company to benefit from the provisions of Article 208 C II.
The General Shareholders' Meeting has the option of offering shareholders the choice between payment in cash or in shares, for all or part of the securities that grant the right to the payment of dividends, within the scope of the relevant provisions of the law and regulations.
Interim dividends can also be distributed before the approval of the financial statements for the fiscal year, under the conditions laid down by law.
For all or part of the interim dividends paid, shareholders can be offered the option of payment in cash or in shares.
Lastly, all shareholders, other than individuals:
shall owe the Company, when any dividends, reserves, additional paid-in capital or income deemed distributed within the meaning of the French Tax Code are paid, an amount that shall be set in such a way as to neutralize completely the withholding tax owed by the Company in respect of said payment.
If there is more than one shareholder subject to withholding tax, each of them shall owe the Company the portion of the withholding tax triggered by its direct or indirect shareholding. The status of shareholder subject to withholding tax shall be assessed on the date the payment is distributed.
Subject to the information provided in accordance with Article 10 of the bylaws, all shareholders, other than individuals, that directly or indirectly hold at least 10% of the Company's dividend rights shall be presumed to be shareholders subject to withholding tax.
The amount of any debt owed by a shareholder subject to withholding tax shall be calculated in such a way that, after the debt is paid and in light of any tax treatment applicable to it, the Company is placed in the same position as though the withholding tax had not been triggered.
The payment of any distribution to a shareholder subject to withholding tax shall be made by an entry in said shareholder's individual current account (which shall not bear interest). The current account balance shall be repaid within five business days as from said entry, after offsetting against the monies owed by the shareholder subject to withholding tax pursuant to the provisions set out above.
The General Shareholders' Meeting can grant each shareholder, for all or part of the dividend or interim dividend payment, an option between payment in cash or in shares. If a shareholder subject to withholding tax opts for the payment of its dividend in shares, said shareholder shall receive part of the payment in shares (without creating fractional shares), and the other part in cash (this portion shall take the form of an individual current account entry), so that the offsetting mechanism described above can apply to the portion of the dividend payment made by an entry in the individual current account.
In the event of a distribution at the time of a public exchange offer, the Company shall only deliver the shares owed to the shareholder subject to withholding tax in respect of its involvement in the exchange after full payment in cash of the monies owed by the shareholder subject to withholding tax to the Company pursuant to the provisions set out above.
In the event that:
Where applicable, the Company may set off its receivable in this regard pro tanto against all monies that may subsequently be owed to said shareholder subject to withholding tax.
The share capital can be increased by any method and in any way authorized by law.
The Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting has the sole power to decide on any immediate or deferred increases in capital. The meeting can delegate this power to the Board of Directors under the conditions laid down by law.
The Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting can also, under the terms and conditions laid down by law, authorize a capital reduction or decide to reduce the capital for any reason and in any way whatsoever. However, capital reductions cannot undermine shareholder equality in any way.
The provisions of the bylaws that govern changes in the Company's share capital are no stricter than those imposed by law.
General Shareholders' Meetings shall be convened and deliberate under the quorum and majority conditions laid down by law.
They shall be held at the registered office or at any other place specified in the convening notice.
All shareholders are entitled to attend General Shareholders' Meetings and to take part in the vote in person or via proxy, upon presentation of proof of their identity and title to their securities, under the conditions and within the time limits set by the applicable regulations.
All shareholders can vote prior to the meeting by post or electronically, in accordance with legal and regulatory conditions.
The shareholders can, under the conditions laid down by the laws and regulations, send their proxy form or postal vote form for any General Shareholders' Meeting on paper or electronically pursuant to a decision by the Board of Directors stated in the convening notice, in accordance with the regulations in force.
Shareholders shall be deemed to be present for the calculation of the quorum and majority if they attend the meeting by videoconference or by other means of telecommunication that makes it possible to identify them, in accordance with legal and regulatory conditions.
General Shareholders' Meetings shall be chaired by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, or in his/her absence, by a Vice-Chairman or by the director specifically designated for that purpose by the Board of Directors. Otherwise, the Chairman is elected by the shareholders. An attendance sheet shall be drawn up under the conditions laid down by law.
Decisions at General Shareholders' Meetings shall be taken under the quorum and majority conditions laid down by law.
In addition to the thresholds provided for by the applicable laws and regulations, any individual or legal entity, acting alone or in concert, that acquires or disposes of, directly or indirectly through one or more companies over which it has majority control, 3% or more of the share capital and/or voting rights, shall inform the Company of each additional fraction of 2% of the capital and/or voting rights held, up to 33%, within five trading days from the crossing of said threshold(s), by registered letter with return receipt requested sent to the Company's registered office, specifying the total number of shares or securities that grant access to the capital, as well as the number of voting rights it holds, alone, indirectly or together with other shareholders, on the basis of the most recent number of voting rights published by the Company.
In the event of failure to comply with this disclosure obligation, one or more shareholders that hold at least 5% of the capital or voting rights can request that the shares exceeding the fraction that should have been disclosed be stripped of voting rights for all Shareholders' Meetings that are held, until the expiration of a two-year period following the date on which the disclosure obligation is complied with. The request shall be recorded in the minutes of the General Shareholders' Meeting. Under the same conditions, the voting rights attached to these shares and that were not duly disclosed cannot be delegated by the defaulting shareholder.
The disclosure obligation described above must be complied with in addition to legal disclosure threshold obligations, in particular those referred to in Article L.233-7 of the French Commercial Code.
Lastly, all shareholders, other than individuals, that hold and/or acquire 10% of the Company's dividend rights, directly or through entities they control, within the meaning of Article L.233-3 of the French Commercial Code, must state in their disclosure threshold notice or subsequent thereto, whether or not the entity is a shareholder subject to withholding tax as defined in Article 27 of the bylaws. If the shareholder declares that it is not a shareholder subject to withholding tax, it must comply with any request by the Company to provide proof thereof and/or a legal opinion issued by an internationally renowned tax firm at the latest ten (10) business days before payment of the distributions.
All shareholders, other than individuals, that report that they have exceeded the threshold of 10% of the dividend rights, directly or indirectly, must notify the Company in a timely manner, and in any event at the latest ten (10) business days before the distributions are made, of any change in their tax status that would cause them to acquire or lose the status of shareholder subject to withholding tax.
If they are not declared under the conditions provided for in the previous paragraph of this article, the shares that exceed the disclosure threshold shall be stripped of voting rights in Shareholders' Meetings if, during a meeting, the failure to declare is recorded and if one or more shareholders that together hold at least 2% of the capital make a request to this effect during such meeting. The removal of voting rights shall also apply to all Shareholders' Meetings that are held until the expiration of a two-year period following the date on which the disclosure obligation is complied with.
The shares of all shareholders subject to withholding tax shall be issuer-registered.
On December 16, 2015, Northwood Investors France Asset Management SAS (the "Advisor") and Prothin entered into an advisory services agreement amended on December 23, 2016, effective January 1, 2016 for an initial term of six years (the "Prothin ASA"), the key terms of which are summarized below.
Under the terms of the ASA, the Advisor is responsible for providing Prothin with advice on and assistance in identifying investment opportunities, handling due diligence procedures and feasibility studies, and structuring and negotiating transactions and the related legal documentation, in liaison with general management and under the control of Prothin and any representatives it may appoint.
The Advisor also provides Prothin with advice on and assistance in (i) preparing and executing the annual business plan, (ii) determining and monitoring the implementation of Prothin's letting strategy, (iii) planning and supervising the key investment activities and (iv) Prothin's relations and interactions with existing and future investors.
The agreement also gives Prothin a right of first refusal over investment opportunities identified by Northwood Investors that are in keeping with the Group's strategy. Should Prothin decline such an investment opportunity due to a negative vote by one or several of the Company directors appointed by Northwood Investors, Northwood Investors may not complete the investment directly if all the other directors of the Company approved the transaction.
The Advisor will receive the following fees:
An advisory fee equal to 0.75% of the Group's EPRA NNNAV is payable quarterly in advance (the calculation only includes the proportion of net asset value that Prothin represents relative to that of Vitura and its subsidiaries or affiliates).
Variable compensation (or "incentive fee")
An incentive fee will also be paid to encourage the Advisor to create value for the shareholders ("Value Growth").
Value Growth is determined on the basis of growth in the Group's EPRA NNNAV over a period of three years adjusted upwards for dividend distributions and downwards for capital increases made over that period (the calculation only includes the proportion of net asset value that Prothin represents relative to that of Vitura and its subsidiaries or affiliates). The incentive fee is equal to a maximum of 10% of Value Growth, provided that an annualized IRR of at least 6% is achieved (the "Initial Hurdle"). A catch-up clause divides the proportion of Value Growth in excess of the Initial Hurdle equally between the Advisor and Prothin until the point that the incentive fee reaches 10% of Value Growth. Beyond that hurdle, the total incentive fee is 10% of Value Growth.
No specific fees are due in the event of the sale or acquisition of real estate assets, as the incentive fee is structured in such a way as to encourage long-term value creation.
Furthermore, to better align the interests of the Advisor with those of the Group and therefore encourage the Advisor to maximize Prothin's long-term performance, the Prothin ASA requires the Advisor to invest the net amount of incentive fees received (i.e., net of VAT and less the 40% tax that may be levied on the incentive fees) in shares of the Company via the exercise of share subscription warrants. The shares obtained will be subject to a lock-up period (during which they cannot be sold to any party outside the Northwood Concert) of (i) 12 months for 100% of the shares, (ii) 24 months for 66.66% of the shares and (iii) 36 months for 33.33% of the shares. Beyond that, no restrictions will apply. Furthermore, the Board may not subscribe to new shares by exercising share subscription warrants if doing so would result in a shareholder, acting alone or in concert, holding directly or indirectly 60% or more of the Company's share capital or voting rights.
At the end of the second three-year period (January 1, 2019 to January 1, 2022), NIFAM received an incentive fee in the amount of EUR 10,838,984 excluding tax under the Prothin ASA, which it used to subscribe to new Vitura shares by exercising share subscription warrants (see section VI.9.1.4 below).
On December 23, 2016, Northwood Investors France Asset Management SAS (the "Advisor") and Hanami Rueil SCI entered into an advisory services agreement, effective December 23, 2016 for an initial term of six years expiring on January 1, 2022 (the "Hanami Rueil SCI ASA"), along the same lines as the Prothin ASA.
At the end of the second three-year period (January 1, 2019 to January 1, 2022), NIFAM received an incentive fee in the amount of EUR 1,275,165 excluding tax under the Hanami Rueil SCI ASA, which it used to subscribe to new Vitura shares by exercising share subscription warrants (see section VI.9.1.4 below).
On December 5, 2018, Northwood Investors France Asset Management SAS (the "Advisor") and CGR Propco SCI entered into an Advisory Services Agreement, effective December 5, 2018 for an initial term of six years expiring on January 1, 2022 (the "CGR Propco SCI ASA"), along the same lines as the Prothin ASA.
At January 1, 2022, NIFAM received an incentive fee in the amount of EUR 1,594,211 excluding tax under the CGR Propco SCI ASA, which it used to subscribe to new Vitura shares by exercising share subscription warrants (see section VI.9.1.4 below).
On October 19, 2021, Northwood Investors France Asset Management SAS (the "Advisor") and Office Kennedy SCI entered into an advisory services agreement, effective October 19, 2021 for an initial term expiring on January 1, 2022 (the "Office Kennedy SCI ASA"), along the same lines as the Prothin ASA.
At January 1, 2022, NIFAM did not receive any incentive fees under the Office Kennedy Propco SCI ASA.
The Prothin ASA, the Hanami Rueil SCI ASA, the CGR Propco SCI ASA and the Office Kennedy SCI ASA expired on January 1, 2022 (the "Old ASAs").
Accordingly, on December 15, 2021 Northwood Investors France Asset Management SAS (the "Advisor") and Prothin, Hanami Rueil SCI, CGR Propco SCI and Office Kennedy SCI (the "Real Estate Subsidiaries") entered into a new advisory services agreement, effective January 1, 2022 for an initial term of six years expiring on January 1, 2028 (the "New ASA"), the key terms of which are summarized below.
Under the terms of the New ASA, the Advisor is responsible for providing the Real Estate Subsidiaries with advice on and assistance in identifying investment opportunities, handling due diligence procedures and feasibility studies, and structuring and negotiating transactions and the related legal documentation, in liaison with general management and under the control of Prothin and any representatives it may appoint.
The Advisor also provides the Real Estate Subsidiaries with advice on and assistance in (i) preparing and executing the annual business plan, (ii) determining and monitoring the implementation of the Real Estate Subsidiaries' letting strategy, (iii) planning and supervising the key investment activities and (iv) the Real Estate Subsidiaries' relations and interactions with existing and future investors.
The agreement also gives the Real Estate Subsidiaries a right of first refusal over investment opportunities identified by Northwood Investors that are in keeping with the Group's strategy. Should the Real Estate Subsidiaries decline such an investment opportunity due to a negative vote by one or several of the Company directors appointed by Northwood Investors, Northwood Investors may not complete the investment directly if all the other directors of the Company approved the transaction.
The Advisor will receive the following fees:
Advisory fee
An advisory fee equal to 0.675% of the Group's EPRA NNNAV is payable quarterly in advance.
An incentive fee will also be paid to encourage the Advisor to create value for the shareholders ("Value Growth").
Value Growth is determined on the basis of growth in the Group's EPRA triple net NAV (NNNAV) over a period of six years (except in cases of early termination), adjusted upwards for dividend distributions and downwards for capital increases made over that period.
The incentive fee is equal to 12% of Value Growth, provided that an annualized performance of 7% is achieved (the "Initial Hurdle"). The catch-up clause provided for in the Old ASAs has been removed.
The incentive fee will be paid at the end of the New ASA or earlier in the event of the Real Estate Subsidiaries' exit from the New ASA ("Exit"), i.e., (i) in the event of a sale or transfer of all of the real estate assets held by the Real Estate Subsidiaries, (ii) in the event of a sale or transfer of 100% of the securities comprising the share capital of the Real Estate Subsidiaries or (iii) in the event of a sale of Vitura shares by Northwood Investors and its affiliates that reduces its direct and indirect ownership interest in Vitura below 51%.
\
As the incentive fee will be paid at the end of the New ASA or in the event of an Exit, the Advisor will no longer be required to invest the net amount of incentive fees received (i.e., net of VAT and after taxes) in shares of the Company via the exercise of share subscription warrants.
No specific fees are due in the event of the sale or acquisition of real estate assets, as the incentive fee is structured in such a way as to encourage long-term value creation.
The small number of employees within the Group can be explained by the fact that the Group outsources all administrative, financial, accounting, legal, tax, IT and property management services to external service providers.
Accordingly, some ten people are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Group's real estate assets, mainly management of rents and service charges, facility management, reception and security.
The Company is governed by the French National Collective Bargaining Agreement for the Real Estate sector – Property Managers – Real Estate companies and Estate Agents (Convention collective nationale étendue de l'immobilier – administrateurs de biens – sociétés immobilières, agents immobiliers).
The Group has not encountered any specific difficulties in hiring personnel.
There were no dismissals within the Group during the year ended December 31, 2022.
The Group does not use any external manpower.
No layoff plans have been implemented.
At December 31, 2022, there was no employee share ownership as defined in Article L.225-102 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce).
The Group's employees have not been granted any stock subscription options.
The Company does not have any employee incentive plans.
In application of Article L.225-102-1 of the French Commercial Code, information on Vitura's employment policy is presented below.
Vitura's HR values are as follows:
The employment indicators for 2022 were as follows:
Group employees completed two hours of external training in 2022.
A detailed evaluation of each employee's training needs is carried out at the start of each year during the annual reviews. This ensures that all employees have equal access to training.
Each employee is invited to annual reviews to assess whether they have met their targets. These annual reviews are also an opportunity to further expectations and ensure that employees' needs are met.
Due to Vitura's limited number of employees, the Company does not have a staff representative body.
All of the Company's employees are treated fairly and have equal access to professional training opportunities, regardless of their origin. They all receive an annual performance review.
The Company ensures that there is no discrimination towards its employees or partners.
The Group is governed by French law and undertakes to comply with the French Labor Code (Code du travail) in its entirety, particularly the provisions concerning employee health and safety. It also complies with the fundamental conventions of the International Labour Organization, particularly those relating to child labor, forced labor and the employment of people with disabilities.
The nature of the Group's property business, which consists of managing office buildings, does not pose any significant risks in relation to the working conditions of its employees.
As Vitura's business includes property management, it is not directly affected by risks related to food waste.
However, when selecting its food service providers for each of its assets, the Company pays close attention to the measures they
take with regard to food waste. Property managers ensure that contracted service providers enable tenants to enjoy responsible, balanced and sustainable food at the intercompany restaurants.
\
The fight against food insecurity is not an issue for Vitura.

To the Company's knowledge, no other shareholder, acting alone or in concert, directly or indirectly holds more than 3% of the capital or voting rights.
As of the date of this Universal Registration Document, with the presence of representatives of Northwood and GIC on its Board of Directors, the percentages of the capital and voting rights held by all the members of the management and executive bodies were 58.21% and 24.82%, respectively.
Northwood therefore has an indirect controlling interest in Vitura. However, the presence of independent directors on the Board and committees means that there is no risk that this control will be exercised in an abusive manner. Accordingly, the Board of Directors' Internal Rules and Regulations contain a Directors' Charter, which requires each director to be attentive to the division and exercise of the respective powers and responsibilities of the Company's governing bodies and to ensure that no one can exercise uncontrolled discretionary power over the Company. Lastly, the practices and procedures of the Board of Directors will be assessed in the first half of 2023 with the assistance of an external consultant, with a view to their improvement.

In accordance with the delegation of authority granted by the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of February 18, 2016, on April 14, 2016 the Board of Directors decided to issue 865,000 share subscription warrants (the "Share Subscription Warrants") at a unit price of EUR 0.01, each granting the right to subscribe to 1.001 new ordinary shares of the Company (after the adjustment to the exercise ratio on October 8, 2021).
Northwood Investors France Asset Management SAS ("NIFAM" or the "Share Subscription Warrant Holder") subscribed to all 865,000 of the Share Subscription Warrants, granting the right to subscribe to all new ordinary shares of the Company in accordance with the terms of the issue agreement (the "Issue Agreement").
The subscription price for one ordinary share of the Company through the exercise of one Share Subscription Warrant is equal to the volume-weighted average share price during the 20 trading days prior to the exercise date.
The Share Subscription Warrant Holder may only subscribe to new shares of the Company by exercising Share Subscription Warrants if it is owed an incentive fee pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Old ASAs. In the event that the Share Subscription Warrant Holder is unable to subscribe to new shares by exercising Share Subscription Warrants, it will receive said incentive fee in cash.
On March 19, 2019, the Share Subscription Warrant Holder exercised 303,672 Share Subscription Warrants and subscribed to 305,190 newshares at a price of EUR36.71 per share. The remaining Share Subscription Warrants (561,328) had to be exercised no later thanJune30,2022.Based on the ratio as adjusted on October 8, 2021, the 561,328 Share Subscription Warrants therefore entitled the Share Subscription Warrant Holder to subscribe to 561,889 new shares of the Company.
On March 9, 2022, NIFAM exercised 245,351 Share Subscription Warrants and subscribed to 245,596 new shares at a price of EUR 33.49 per share. The Share Subscription Warrants not exercised at June 30, 2022 (i.e., 315,977) became null and void.
On April 6, 2022, NIFAM transferred the 245,596 shares that it held in the Company to Northwood Investors International Limited, an affiliate of Northwood. On April 6, 2022, Northwood Investors International Limited transferred the 245,596 shares that it held in the Company to Northwood CGR Holdings LP, an affiliate of Northwood (see section VI.9.4 of this Universal Registration Document). Northwood CGR Holdings LP now holds 550,786 shares in the Company, representing 3.22% of the share capital and voting rights.
The Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of May 12, 2021 delegated authority to the Board of Directors to issue, on one or several occasions and in proportions and at such time as it deems appropriate, in euros, foreign currencies or any other unit of account established based on a currency basket, ordinary shares, and/or ordinary shares granting access to other ordinary shares or debt securities, and/or securities granting access to ordinary shares to be issued by the Company, based on the Company's needs and in light of the market characteristics at the relevant time.
The aggregate nominal amount of shares that may be issued with preemptive subscription rights shall not exceed EUR 300,000,000.
The aggregate nominal amount of shares that may be issued without preemptive subscription rights by means of a public offer excluding offers as defined in Article L.411-2, 1° of the French Monetary and Financial Code (Code monétaire et financier) or an offer as defined in Article L.411-2, 1° of the French Monetary and Financial Code shall not exceed EUR 300,000,000. In the event of a private placement, this amount shall also be capped at 20% of the share capital per year.
These amounts do not include the nominal value of ordinary shares that may be issued to maintain the rights of holders of securities granting access to the share capital, in accordance with legal provisions and, where applicable, contractual provisions providing for other adjustments.
On the same date, the Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting also delegated authority to the Board of Directors to:
Shareholders will be invited to vote on the renewal of these delegations of financial authority at the next General Shareholders' Meeting.
In addition, the Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of May 18, 2022 delegated authority to the Board of Directors to grant free shares to employees and/or certain corporate officers. This delegation of authority expires on July 18, 2026.
To date, none of these delegations have been used, except for the delegation of authority to increase the share capital with preemptive subscription rights for existing shareholders (see section VI.4.9).
None
The Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of May 18, 2022 renewed the delegation of authority granted to the Board of Directors, for a period of 18 months, to purchase, on one or several occasions and at such time as it deems appropriate, Company shares within the limit of 10% of the number of shares composing the share capital (5% in the event of share buybacks in view of external growth transactions), at any time, where applicable adjusted to include any increases or decreases in capital that may have been implemented during the duration of the buyback program.
Within the scope of this share buyback program, the Company carried out the following sale and purchase transactions involving its own shares between the opening and closing dates of the last fiscal year:
At December 31, 2022, the Company held 33,764 treasury shares withamarket valueofEUR24.40per share(closingvalue).
Pursuant to Article 241-2 of the AMF's General Regulations, Regulation (EU) no. 596/2014 of April 16, 2014 and Delegated Regulation (EU) no. 2016/1052, the aim of this description is to state the purposes and terms and conditions of the Company's share buyback program.
10% of the share capital (equivalent to 1,708,770 shares as of the date of this Universal Registration Document). This limit is calculated at the buyback date in order to take account of any capital increases or decreases during the share buyback program. The number of shares included in the calculation of this limit corresponds to the number of shares purchased, less the number resold within the scope of the liquidity agreement, over the term of the program.
Given that the Company may hold a maximum of 10% of its share capital and that it already holds 34,957 shares (i.e., 0.20% of the share capital) at March 15, 2023, the maximum number of shares that can be purchased is 1,673,813 shares (i.e., 9.80% of the share capital), unless the Company decides to sell or cancel some or all of the treasury shares it already holds.
This Universal Registration Document is available on the Company's website (www.vitura.fr/en).

By letter received on April 11, 2016, the French financial markets authority (Autorité des marchés financiers – AMF) received a shareholders' agreement entered into on April 6, 2016 (effective from April 7, 2016) between NW CGR 1 S.a.r.l, NW CGR 2 S.a.r.l and NW CGR 3 S.a.r.l (entities of the Northwood Concert) and Euro Bernini Private Limited (a GIC group entity), not acting in concert. The main provisions of the agreement were published by the AMF on April 12, 2016 in accordance with Article L.233-11 of the French Commercial Code.
By letter received on December 21, 2021, supplemented by a letter received on December 24, 2021, the AMF was informed of the signature by NW CGR 1 S.a.r.l., NW CGR 2 S.a.r.l. and NW CGR 3 S.a.r.l. (entities of the "Northwood concert"), and Euro Bernini Private Limited (entity of the GIC Group), not acting in concert of an amendment to the shareholders' agreement relating to Vitura entered into on April 6, 2016. The amendment was signed on December 17, 2021. Under the terms of the amendment, a twothirds majority of the Board of Directors of Vitura is to be maintained for the adoption of certain decisions for the term of the shareholders' agreement. The agreement entered into on April 6, 2016 provided for a return to a standard majority after a certain period of time. The term of the shareholders' agreement – initially set to run until December 31, 2025 – has been extended to December 31, 2031.
The main clauses of the agreement are as follows:
Pursuant to the shareholders' agreement, Northwood and GIC represent that they are not acting in concert with regard to Vitura (formerly Cegereal) within the meaning of Articles L.233-10 et seq. of the French Commercial Code.
Under the shareholders' agreement, Northwood and GIC may appoint directors to represent their interests on the Board of Directors. Accordingly, the Board will comprise:
Each of the Board of Directors' committees will comprise three members, including two independent directors. GIC will be entitled to appoint one member to serve on the Audit Committee and one member to serve on the Investment Committee, and Northwood will be entitled to appoint one member to the Appointments and Compensation Committee.
Each director will be free to vote as he/she chooses on all decisions submitted to the Board of Directors.
The shareholders' agreement provides for an amendment to the Internal Rules and Regulations of Vitura such that the most significant decisions (in their first deliberation only, for some decisions; see amendment) concerning Vitura will require a twothirds majority of the Board's members in order to be approved.
Accordingly, GIC may not veto any Board decisions.
While GIC's interest in Vitura's share capital and voting rights is greater than 20%, it has the right to veto any decisions likely to impact its investment, namely:
The shareholders' agreement provides exceptions for certain decisions that have previously been approved by a majority of two-thirds of the Board of Directors' members, in particular for decisions relating to capital increases with preemptive subscription rights for existing shareholders.
Under the shareholders' agreement, shareholders that own more than 10% of Vitura's share capital and voting rights have the right of first offer in the event of the sale of Vitura shares by another shareholder, subject to certain exceptions.
The shareholders' agreementwill expire onDecember 31, 2031.
As of the date hereof, to the knowledge of the Company, there are no agreements, which, if implemented, could lead to a change in its control.

By letters received on May 17, 2022, the Singaporean company GIC Private Limited (168 Robinson Road, #37-01, Capital Tower, Singapore 068912, Republic of Singapore), disclosed that on March 15, 2022, its holding in Vitura's share capital and voting rights had fallen below the 25% threshold and that as of that date, it held 4,241,646 shares, representing as many voting rights, i.e., 24.82% of the share capital and voting rights of the Company.
This crossing of thresholds results from an increase in the total number of Vitura's shares and voting rights.
GIC Private Limited is wholly owned by the government of the Republic of Singapore and has been appointed discretionary manager of the Republic of Singapore's foreign exchange reserves. As such, GIC Private Limited is the ultimate discretionary manager of the assets held by GIC (Realty) Pte Ltd and its subsidiaries, including Euro Bernini Private Limited, a Singaporean private limited investment holding company whose purpose is to hold Vitura shares.
No crossings of thresholds set out in the applicable legal provisions and/or the bylaws have been disclosed to the Company since January 1, 2023.
Northwood Investors declared that it was acting in concert with other entities.
The Northwood Concert comprises the following entities: (i) NW CGR 1 S.a.r.l, (ii) NW CGR 2 S.a.r.l, (iii) NW CGR 3 S.a.r.l, (iv) NW CGR SCS, managed by its general partner, NW CGR GP S.a.r.l, (v) NW CGR Holding S.a.r.l, (vi) NW Europe Holdings S.a.r.l, (vii) NW Europe (No. 1) Limited Partnership, (viii) NW Europe (No. 2) Limited Partnership, (ix) NW Europe Co-Invest (No. 1) Limited Partnership, (x) NW Europe Co-Invest (No. 2) Limited Partnership, (xi) NW Europe Employees Co-Invest Limited Partnership, the latter five companies all being managed by their general partner, Northwood Canada AIV GP Limited Partnership (Alberta), (xii) Northwood Employees Limited Partnership, managed by its general partner, Northwood GP LLC, and (xiii) Northwood Real Estate Partners Europe Limited Partnership, managed by its general partner, Northwood Canada AIV GP II Limited Partnership (hereinafter referred to collectively as "Northwood" or the "Northwood Concert").
These declarations were published in AMF notice no. 215C1387 of October 8, 2015 and no. 215C1640 of November 9, 2015.
In 2019 and as stated above, Northwood CGR Holdings LP, an affiliate of Northwood, became a shareholder of the Company. As none of the disclosure thresholds set out in the applicable legal provisions were crossed, Northwood and Northwood CGR Holdings LP were not required to declare that they were acting in concert.
In April 2022 and as stated above, Northwood CGR Holdings LP, an affiliate of Northwood, acquired 1.44% of the Company's shares and now holds 3.22% of the share capital and voting rights. As none of the disclosure thresholds set out in the applicable legal provisions were crossed, Northwood and Northwood Investors France Asset Management were not required to declare that they were acting in concert.
However, Northwood and Northwood CGR Holdings LP, which together own 58.21% of the Company's share capital and voting rights as of the date of this Universal Registration Document, will in practice act in concert.
Northwood therefore has an indirect controlling interest in Vitura. However, the presence of independent directors on the Board and committees means that there is no risk that this control will be exercised in an abusive manner.

No differences were found between the values given in the appraisal report and the fair value of the assets stated in the latest consolidated financial statements published by theCompany.
We have been appointed by Vitura, under the terms of a real estate valuation agreement, to estimate the fair value of its real estate assets. This assignment falls within the scope of the Group's sixmonthly valuation ofits properties.
We conduct ourwork in total independence.
The real estate valuation firms Cushman & Wakefield Valuation and CBREValuation have no ownership linkswithVitura.
The real estate valuation firms Cushman & Wakefield Valuation and CBRE Valuation confirm that the valuations were performed by and underthe responsibility of qualified valuers.
The annual fees billed to Vitura are determined on a flat-fee basis before the valuations began and represent less than 10% of each firm's revenue.
The rotation ofthe independent valuers is organized byVitura.
No conflicts of interest have been identified in relation to this assignment.
The assignment was performed in compliance with the AMF's recommendation dated February 8, 2010 on the presentation of assessmentitems and real estate assets oflisted companies.
Our valuation focused on the fair value of six real estate assets in France.
We were appointed by Vitura to carry out initial valuations, updates based on document reviews or property visits in the event that initial valuations had been performed during the four previous years, or file-based valuation opinions.
Our assignment focused on the estimation of fair value atDecember 31, 2022.
In accordance with IFRS 13, the real estate assets were measured at their"highest and best use value".
The properties valued are all offices or parking garages located in France. They are investment assets wholly or jointly-owned or held underleases byVitura's subsidiaries.
The different real estate assets are leased to a variety of lessees under commercial leases, some of which with fixed three, six, nine or twelve-yearterms, or short-term leases.
It should be noted that when the principal is the lessee under the terms of a leasing agreement, the valuer only assesses the assets underlying the agreement and not the leasing agreement itself. Similarly, where a real estate asset is owned by a special purpose vehicle, the real estate asset's value is measured based on the estimated price of the underlying asset rather than that of the vehicle.
The assignment was performed on the basis of the documents and information provided to us. These were assumed to be accurate and to correspond to all of the documents and information in the possession of the principal or of which the principal was aware, that were likely to have an impact on the real estate portfolio's fair value. Therefore,we do notreferto title deeds or building permits.
The valuation and estimateswere performed in accordancewith:
As the assets comprising the different portfolios are investment properties, the valuations were mainly performed by applying the return on investment method, via the income capitalization approach, orthe discounted cash flow method.
The total fair value corresponds to the sum of the fair values of each real estate asset and is calculated (i) net of taxes (after deducting expenses and transfer duties), and (ii) with all taxes included (market valuebeforedeductingexpenses andtransferduties).

Commercial Code VI.4 178
By way of government order no. 2017-1180 of July 19, 2017 and decree no. 2017-1265 of August 9, 2017, the French government transposed into national law the European directive of October 22, 2014 on the disclosure of non-financial information. The new requirements concern listed companies with more than 500 employees and annual net revenue of more than EUR 40 million or net assets of more than EUR 20 million. Vitura is therefore not concerned by the requirements, but has chosen to comply with them voluntarily.
Pursuant to France's Energy Transition Law (no. 2015-992 of August 17, 2015 – LTECV), the non-financial information statement must contain certain disclosures. Similarly, two laws (no. 2018-898 of October 23, 2018 on combating fraud, and no. 2018-938 reforming France's agriculture and food policy) were recently introduced amending Article L.225-102-1 of the French Commercial Code, which governs the content required in the non‑financial information statement (NFIS). Lastly, the French Parliament updated Article L.225-102-1 of the French Commercial Code in March 2022 to require issuers to include information relating to "actions to promote the practice of physical and sports activities" in the NFIS.
The provisions regarding the non-financial information statement do not require issuers to disclose all the information provided for by law, thereby favoring an approach that focuses specifically on the issuer's business and its risk analysis rather than the exhaustiveness of the non-financial information. The following table indicates where the disclosures required by the above provisions can be found in Vitura's Annual Report.

BREEAM In-Use is a British certification scheme based on three independent certificates that each address a different aspect of the building (Asset Performance, Building Management and Occupier Management). It covers nine categories and offers a snapshot of the environmental performance of a site.
The capitalization rate is the market rate used to calculate the fair value of an asset based on the asset's market rent (prior to the impact of the rental situation).
EPRA earnings are a measure of operating performance that does not include fair value changes, the impact of asset sales and other items not considered to be part of the Company's recurring business activity. The EPRA performance indicator shown above is calculated based on EPRA Best Practices Recommendations (BPR). The figures are not prepared in accordance with IFRS. The main assumptions and criteria used to calculate the indicators may vary from company to company. These metrics should not be taken in isolation or considered as a substitute for operating income or any other performance indicator.
EPRA Net Asset Value is calculated on the basis of consolidated equity, which notably includes unrealized gains and losses on real estate assets. The Group's real estate portfolio was measured at market value at December 31, 2021 by external real estate valuers, BNPPRE, C&W, CBRE and Catella. Treasury shares held at December 31, 2021 were not taken into account in calculating NAV per share.
EPRA Net Disposal Value aims to represent shareholder value under an asset disposal scenario, where deferred tax, financial instruments and other liabilities are liquidated net of any resulting tax.
EPRA NIY (unlike rental income recognized under IFRS), is the annual rental income calculated on the basis of the net monthly rent applicable at the end of the reporting period, less nonrecoverable property operating expenses, divided by the gross estimated value of the property.
EPRA Net Reinstatement Value aims to represent the value required to rebuild the entity and assumes that entities never sell assets.
EPRA Net Tangible Assets aims to reflect the value of tangible assets and assumes that entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallizing certain levels of unavoidable deferred tax.
EPRA Triple Net Asset Value incorporates the market value of the fixed-rate bank loan debt. Treasury shares held at December 31, 2021 were not taken into account in calculating EPRA NNNAV per share.
EPRA "topped-up" NIY corresponds to the EPRA NIY adjusted for rent-free periods or other incentives due to expire.
The EPRA vacancy rate corresponds to the market rent of vacant premises relative to the market rent of the entire real estate portfolio at December 31.
Designed by and for real-estate professionals, Green Rating is a tool for the evaluation and comparative analysis of the intrinsic and real environmental performance of existing buildings. It is based on six environmental criteria – energy, carbon, water, transport, waste and well-being – and four levels of performance, and offers tangible results that allow performance to be tracked and improved over time.
HQE Exploitation (Haute Qualité Environnementale en Exploitation or High Environmental Quality in use) is a building certification that establishes the environmental performance of a site based on four metrics – energy, environment, health and convenience. Its main objective is to ensure control of the building's energy and environmental quality by drawing on the resources installed during its construction or renovation.

International Financial Reporting Standards: since January 1, 2005, all listed EU companies have been required to prepare their consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting standards known as IFRS. These accounting standards make it easier for investors to make comparisons between companies.
Officialized in 2011, the ILAT is frequently used as the reference system for reviewing rents of tertiary premises. The ILAT is the weighted sum of three indexes: the consumer price index (50%), the cost of construction index (25%) and the level of gross domestic product (25%).
The interest coverage ratio is used to measure a company's ability to meet interest payments on its outstanding debt. It is equal to revenue for the period divided by interest expense for the period. It is also known as the Interest Service Coverage ratio (ISC) or the Debt Service Coverage ratio (DSC).
Loan-to-value ratio: this ratio corresponds to outstanding bank borrowings/market value of real estate assets net of taxes.
The market rental value corresponds to the amount for which an asset could be reasonably leased at the time of the valuation. This is analyzed as the annual financial consideration for the use of a real estate asset under a lease agreement.
Minimum future lease payments correspond to the rental income due to the Group through to the earliest possible termination dates of the different operating leases (excluding VAT and rebilling of taxes and expenses).
The occupancy rate is the ratio of space for which the Company receives rent under a lease agreement to the total amount of available (office) space.
An asset's potential yield corresponds to the sum of the market rental values divided by the estimated value of the property.
The reference surface area is the surface area as determined by surveyors. It includes the surface area of the private areas, common areas and service areas (i.e., the intercompany restaurant, the auditorium and the archives).
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are companies which are exempt from corporate taxation on profits from property rental income and capital gains on the sale of investment properties.
See Note 2.11 – Revenues to the consolidated financial statements, page 113.
Listed real estate investment companies (sociétés d'investissement immobilières cotées): this is the tax status created by Article 11 of French Finance Act no. 2002-1575 of December 30, 2002.
An asset's theoretical effective yield corresponds to the sum of the rental income from leased premises and the market rate of vacant premises divided by the estimated value of the property is analyzed as the annual financial consideration for the use of a real estate asset under a lease agreement.
